Energy Storage System (ESS) Battery Considerations
Presented by: Paul Rogers, FDNY Lt. HazMat Unit 02/02/2016
UPS vs ESS Systems
UPS ESS
Back-Up
Peak Shaving/ Demand Reduction
Lead Acid ONLY
Numerous Chemistries
Full SOC Exercised Daily
No BMS BMS
Code & Standard Regulations
• FCAC (IFC)
• UL (9540)
• NEC
• NFPA
• DOE
• Con Ed
• FDNY C of F29
Location
• Where??? • Who is affected?? • Fire Appliances • Suppression Systems • Inside or Outside
Rooms vs. Cabinets • Rooms / Isolated • Cabinets / part of a room • Ventilation • No Ventilation
BMS Awareness
• Battery Brains • Safety Device • Monitors Cell/ Module /
Battery / System • Monitors Remotely • Collects Data
New BIC Card Entry
Capt. Carey will address
Signage
• Its for everyone
• Stranded Electric
• Corrosive
• Stay Out
Emergency Response Plan
• Need to be updated
• EAP Evacuations:
• In-Building Relocation Floor(s)?
• Total Building?
• What's your thoughts?
Potential Monitoring
• May Be required
• Why do they alarm?
• What’s the concern?
• What can be done?
Stranded Energy
• After fires
• Shutting down systems
• Loss of electricity
• Automatic shutdown
• Showing no stored energy
• Arc flash
Lithium-Ion Hover Boards
• Problems/Fire
• Agencies are investigating
• Industry/Public Concerns
• Insults to the battery
• Substandard Charging Device
• Non-Listed Batteries
ESS Re-ignition Concerns
• Extinguishment • Containment • Suppression • Fire watch???? • Removal???? • EV Test
Fires & Toxic Gases
Depends on chemistry • What is released during fire? • How much is released? • Fire intensity
Spills
• Aqueous Electrolyte
• Non Aqueous Electrolyte
• Corrosive
• Harmful to skin
• First Aid
• MSDS/SDS
