Technical FAQs 4

What happened at a battery energy storage system near London?

A fire at an under-construction, utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) close to London in Thurrock, Essex, was safely brought under control on February 20. Firefighters from Orsett, Corringham and Basildon were called on February 19 to the fire in East Tilbury.

What happens if a power generation & energy storage facility fires?

Power generation and energy storage fires can be very costly, potentially resulting in a total write-off of the facility. Fires happen quickly and may spread fast, destroying critical company assets. Passive fire protection may lower risk but ignition sources and fuel supplies remain.

What are the ESS safety requirements for energy storage systems?

The International Fire Code (IFC) published its most robust ESS safety requirements in the most recent 2021 edition. By far the most dominant battery type installed in an energy storage system is lithium-ion, which brings with it particular fire risks.

Does UK Power Networks install fire safety systems in secondary substations?

These suffer from corrosion in high humidity and high moisture areas. UK Power Networks typically no longer installs active fire safety systems in secondary substations, except where required by a Fire Risk Assessment or where specific requirements exist due to property protection, heritage value, or lease agreements.
