Best Practice for Fire Protection

Synopsis

Each energy storage project has unique characteristics including the location and the technologies being used. Consequently, a bespoke approach to protect against fires for each project must be undertaken. This session discusses the best approaches to:

• Identifying the different fire safety risks when developing and operating a battery.
• Designing energy storage projects that are safe by considering the different specifications for batteries.
• Limiting the different types of distresses such as electrical and mechanical.
• Reducing the costs of insurance and risk of litigation.
• Understanding which fire suppression systems to deploy.
