With the rapid growth of alternative energy sources, there has been a push to install large-scale batteries to store surplus electricity at times of low demand and dispatch it during periods of high demand. In observance of Fire Prevention Week, WSP fire experts are drawing attention to the need to address fire hazards associated with these batteries to

ventilation, signage, fire protection systems, and emergency operations protocols. UL 9540, Standard for Energy Storage Systems and Equipment UL 9540 is the recognized certification standard for all types of ESS, including electrochemical, chemical, mechanical, and thermal energy. The standard evaluates the safety and compatibility of various

To help provide answers to different stakeholders interested in energy storage system (ESS) technologies, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has released "NFPA 855, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems," the first comprehensive collection of criteria for the fire protection of ESS

Article 706, Energy Storage Systems; and National Fire Protection Association: Standard on Stored Electrical Energy Emergency and Standby Power Systems- (NFPA-111). BACKGROUND . Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are devices that enable energy from renewables, like solar and wind, to be stored and then released when customers

The FDA241 detects lithium-ion electrolyte vapor (also known as lithium-ion ''off-gas'' particles) early and reliably thanks to its patented dual-wavelength optical detection technology. The FDA241 is the ideal solution for early detection of electrical fires. In addition to controlling the automated extinguishing system, the fire protection

The modular system has multiple installation and cabling options including pad or pier and is configured to minimize operation and maintenance (O&M) expenses over the life of the project with all weather capabilities and high efficiency cooling system.
