Overview
The Battery Storage (BESS) Safety Fundamentals course is designed to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of the safety considerations surrounding battery energy storage systems. As the deployment of BESS technology increases, so does the need for robust safety protocols to mitigate risks associated with lithium-ion batteries, which, while generally safe, can pose hazards such as fire and chemical exposure under certain conditions.
Course Highlights
Participants will explore various topics, including:
Types of Battery Hazards: Understanding the specific risks associated with different battery chemistries, including leakage, thermal runaway, and off-gassing.
Safety Standards: An overview of current safety standards such as NFPA 855 and UL certifications, and how they apply to battery installations.
Design and Operation: Best practices for designing safe battery storage systems, including installation measures and operational protocols.
Decommissioning and Recycling: Guidelines for safely decommissioning battery systems and recycling materials to minimize environmental impact.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, attendees will be able to:
Identify various battery types and their associated hazards.
Assess safety risks and implement appropriate safety measures.
Understand the evolving landscape of safety standards and their implications for future battery storage projects.
This course is particularly beneficial for professionals involved in renewable energy project development, utility management, and regulatory compliance. Participants will also earn continuing education credits, enhancing their professional qualifications in the energy sector. For more information and to register, visit the EUCI event page.
