Can a large-scale solar battery energy storage system improve accident prevention and mitigation?

This work describes an improved risk assessment approach for analyzing safety designs in the battery energy storage system incorporated in large-scale solar to improve accident prevention and mitigation, via incorporating probabilistic event tree and systems theoretic analysis. The causal factors and mitigation measures are presented.

Which risk assessment methods are inadequate in complex power systems?

Traditional risk assessment methods such as Event Tree Analysis, Fault Tree Analysis, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Hazards and Operability, and Systems Theoretic Process Analysis are becoming inadequate for designing accident prevention and mitigation measures in complex power systems.

Are grid-scale battery energy storage systems safe?

Despite widely known hazards and safety design of grid-scale battery energy storage systems, there is a lack of established risk management schemes and models as compared to the chemical, aviation, nuclear and the petroleum industry.

Why do we need a risk assessment scheme?

As power system technologies advance to integrate variable renewable energy, energy storage systems and smart grid technologies, improved risk assessment schemes are required to identify solutions to accident prevention and mitigation.

What is a battery energy storage system?

Analyse safety barrier failure modes, causes and mitigation measures via STPA-based analysis. Battery Energy Storage Systems are electrochemical type storage systems defined by discharging stored chemical energy in active materials through oxidation–reduction to produce electrical energy.

What is a risk assessment framework?

The causal factors and mitigation measures are presented. The risk assessment framework presented is expected to benefit the Energy Commission and Sustainable Energy Development Authority, and Department of Standards in determining safety engineering guidelines and protocols for future large-scale renewable energy projects.
