Battery energy storage systems (BESS) stabilize the electrical grid, ensuring a steady flow of power to homes and businesses regardless of fluctuations from varied energy sources or other disruptions. However, fires at some BESS installations have caused concern in communities considering BESS as a method to support their grids.
This ordinance does not extend to the general maintenance and repair of battery energy storage systems permitted, installed, or modified prior to the effective date of this ordinance. Applications for permits shall be approved in accordance with Section [XXX] of [County/Village/Town/City] ordinances.
Industries rely on lithium-ion and LiFePO4 lithium batteries for their high energy density and long cycle life, making compliance with NFPA 855 essential. A literature review highlights the role of NFPA 855 in improving safety and efficiency.
