Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.

Are energy storage facilities safe?

“The energy storage industry is committed to a proactive and tireless approach to safety and reliability. At its core, energy storage facilities are critical infrastructure designed to protect people from power outages,” said ACP VP of Energy Storage Noah Roberts.

Are battery energy storage systems safe?

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 28, 2025 — Today, the American Clean Power Association (ACP) released a comprehensive framework to ensure the safety of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in every community across the United States, informed by a new assessment of previous fire incidents at BESS facilities.

Can energy storage systems be scaled up?

The energy storage system can be scaled up by adding more flywheels. Flywheels are not generally attractive for large-scale grid support services that require many kWh or MWh of energy storage because of the cost, safety, and space requirements. The most prominent safety issue in flywheels is failure of the rotor while it is rotating.

Are grid-scale battery energy storage systems safe?

Despite widely known hazards and safety design, grid-scale battery energy storage systems are not considered as safe as other industries such as chemical, aviation, nuclear, and petroleum. There is a lack of established risk management schemes and models for these systems.

What are battery energy storage systems (Bess)?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) represent pivotal technologies facilitating energy transformation, extensively employed across power supply, grid, and user domains, which can realize the decoupling between power generation and electricity consumption in the power system, thereby enhancing the efficiency of renewable energy utilization [2, 3].
