Fire inspections are a crucial part of ensuring the safety and reliability of these systems. This insights post delves into the key requirements and best practices for conducting fire inspections for BESS. Battery Energy Storage Systems, especially those utilizing lithium-ion batteries, can pose significant fire risks if not properly managed.
Electrical and Wiring Safety – Proper electrical wiring and connections are critical for fire safety in energy storage systems. NFPA 855 outlines specific requirements for cable management, grounding, and circuit protection to ensure that electrical components do not pose a fire risk.
While there’s currently no single fire code specifically for PV and battery systems, the emphasis is on risk assessment, proper design, professional installation, and ongoing maintenance. 1. Ensure Proper Installation by Certified Professionals Always use MCS-certified installers for solar and battery systems.
While the 2015 versions of the IFC and NFPA 1 do contain some requirements for energy storage systems, they are few compared to the 2018 and 2021 versions. The ESS requirements in the 2018 version, while certainly more restrictive than the 2015 version, are relatively modest.
