One gap in current safety assessments is that validation tests are performed on new products under laboratory conditions, and do not reflect changes that can occur in service or as the product ages. Figure 4. Increasing safety certainty earlier in the energy storage development cycle. 8. Summary of Gaps
The causal factors and mitigation measures are presented. The risk assessment framework presented is expected to benefit the Energy Commission and Sustain-able Energy Development Authority, and Department of Standards in determining safety engineering guidelines and protocols for future large-scale renewable energy projects.
Principles of incorporating both component and sys-temic view, assessment of safety barrier failures and assessment of indirect causal factors in abnormal sys-tem states are necessary to develop an adequate safety framework for complex energy systems such as an LSS with BESS.
Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in 2014, there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.
As power system technologies advance to integrate variable renewable energy, energy storage systems and smart grid technol-ogies, improved risk assessment schemes are required to identify solutions to accident prevention and mitiga-tion.
The EcS risk assessment framework presented would benefit the Malaysian Energy Commission and Sustainable Energy Development Authority in increased adoption of battery storage systems with large-scale solar plants, contribut-ing to IRENA 2050 energy transformation scenario tar-gets for global temperature control and net zero carbon emissions.
