Reviewing Safety Risks and Standards in BESS
As battery energy storage technologies assume a bigger role in the global transition to renewable energy, the importance of developing and operating a safe system is paramount.
In this webinar, Chris Wright and Aaroh Kharaya discuss some of the most pressing safety concerns for new storage installations in the U.S., adding some global cases for additional context. The inherent systems risks of battery design and technology, as well as potential electrical concerns, will also be discussed.
Yet, just as there are multiple aspects of a system that can pose safety concerns, practices and technologies used to mitigate these concerns are evolving just as quickly as the batteries themselves.
Listen to this PV magazine Webinar to find out more about the advancements being made every day in battery storage system safety and how this is applied to every level of project development.
Topics Include:
Safety concerns in ESS
Inherent risks
Safety trends – design
Safety trends – integration
Safety trends – installation
Safety standards
Q&A
The latest Energy Storage System (ESS) Supplier Market Intelligence Report finds that the market landscape for lithium-ion batteries continues to evolve, and supplier strategy is shifting rapidly in response to the tariffs announced by the United States under the Trump administration, particularly on China, and persistently low prices.
Clean Energy Associates conducted quality audits at 70+ battery energy storage factories worldwide. Our data shows that in 2024 the vast majority of identified quality issues were at the system level.
In this Energy Storage News article, CEA’s Senior Energy Storage Engineer Ahn Vu explores how alternative technologies to lithium-ion are unlikely to oust the incumbent anytime soon.
In this PV Tech article, Martin Meyers, CEA’s Director of Market Intelligence, explores how the Inflation Reduction Act is reshaping U.S. solar manufacturing incentives and project economics.
George Touloupas, Vice President of ESG and New Services at Clean Energy Associates, and Huatian Xu, Director of Technology and Quality, analyze the March 2025 results from the pv magazine outdoor test installation in Yinchuan, China.
Transformer procurement has become a critical risk in solar development, with lead times stretching up to three years and fierce global competition for supply. Eddy Ji, CEA’s Senior Supply Chain Manager, explains how developers can avoid costly delays by expanding sourcing strategies and rigorously vetting suppliers.
This article explores how CEA identified a post-installation anomaly in a 1 GW solar project in Chile that was not visible during earlier inspections. Through further testing, CEA confirmed the issue was self-correcting and avoided unnecessary remediation costs for the client.
This article explores how CEA investigated glass breakage in over 2,600 PV modules using site inspections and IEC-standard lab testing. The analysis revealed internal structural weaknesses and mounting issues, helping the client identify root causes and assign accountability.
The ESS Price Forecasting Report provides an in-depth five-year forecast for the price of a DC battery container, including battery cells, modules, racking, and additional balance of system needed for a containerized battery system.
The quarterly published Energy Storage STPR covers global and regional supply chain analysis, technology trends, and regional policy analysis. This quarter the focus is on non-lithium-ion technologies and the potential for long-duration energy storage.
