Enervenue has completed UL9540A tests for its nickel-hydrogen cells, units and systems and obtained UL1973 certification.

Element Energy’s large stock of batteries for second life energy storage are mostly LG batteries recalled from EVs in the last few years due to fire safety concerns, a source told Energy-Storage.news.

Two leading developers of energy storage resources in New York explain what the industry can get excited about as the market develops – and what it should be wary of.

Wärtsilä’s battery energy storage system (BESS) product Gridsolv Quantum has achieved the “best possible outcome” in UL9540A testing.

Cameron Murray talks to industry experts about the physical security risks to battery storage sites, and how the security and insurance aspects of operating BESS sites are evolving.

The second high-profile battery storage failure due to a faulty sprinkler system could mark the beginnings of exclusions from insurance policies if certain providers develop a negative track record, a source said.

The faulty activation of sprinkler system forced the decommissioning of the LG batteries which were eventually stolen from Terra-Gen’s Valley Center BESS in California, the company told Energy-Storage.news.

Energy storage’s incredible versatility and usefulness can’t be fully unleashed without a comprehensive approach to fire safety.

The battery storage industry can learn lessons on how to approach fire safety from more established sectors as it works to develop standards.

We hear from two battery storage insurance industry sources about how they view the technology and the main risks they assess when designing policies.
