The main safety concerns with thermal energy storage are all heat-related. Good thermal insulation is needed to reduce heat losses as well as to prevent burns and other heat-related injuries. Molten salt storage requires consideration of the toxicity of the materials and difficulty of handling corrosive fluids.
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.
Electrochemical energy storage includes various types of batteries that convert chemical energy into electrical energy by reversible oxidation-reduction reactions. Batteries are currently the most common form of new energy storage deployed because they are modular and scalable across diverse applications and geographic locations.
