The following document summarizes safety and siting recommendations for large battery energy storage systems (BESS), defined as 600 kWh and higher, as provided by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the Energy Storage Association. . Battery Energy Storage Systems, or BESS, help stabilize electrical grids by providing steady power flow despite fluctuations from inconsistent generation of renewable energy sources and other disruptions. While BESS technology is designed to bolster grid reliability, lithium battery fires at some. . With the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, as well as the falling costs of renewables, battery energy storage systems are becoming a more attractive generation and capacity source for many utilities. How you arrange Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) units on a site can affect both the probability of fire spread and the ability to respond if an incident occurs. Large-scale fire test results are encouraging —. . to ensuring safety across the United States. This Blueprint for Safety provides a comprehensive framework that presents actionable and proven solutions for advancing sa ety at the national, state, and local level.
