5 FAQs about [Washington energy storage fire]

Where can I find information on energy storage safety?

For more information on energy storage safety, visit the Storage Safety Wiki Page. The BESS Failure Incident Database was initiated in 2021 as part of a wider suite of BESS safety research after the concentration of lithium ion BESS fires in South Korea and the Surprise, AZ, incident in the US.

What are stationary energy storage failure incidents?

Note that the Stationary Energy Storage Failure Incidents table tracks both utility-scale and C&I system failures. It is instructive to compare the number of failure incidents over time against the deployment of BESS. The graph to the right looks at the failure rate per cumulative deployed capacity, up to 12/31/2023.

What happened at Moss Landing energy storage facility Phase II?

The Moss Landing Energy Storage Facility Phase II set off fire alarms that activated a fault water suppression system, which – again – set off a cascading set of events that resulted in roughly ten battery packs melting down. Moss Landing battery racks.

What are the different types of energy storage failure incidents?

Stationary Energy Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks utility-scale and commercial and industrial (C&I) failures. Other Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks incidents that do not fit the criteria for the first table. This could include failures involving the manufacturing, transportation, storage, and recycling of energy storage.

Could a lithium-ion battery energy storage facility be the future?

"Everything" could soon include a lithium-ion battery energy storage facility. The facility would store energy from wind or solar power for situations when there is an outage or potentially for high usage during things like heat waves. That sounds great, but those facilities have been catching fire and exploding around the world.
