| Abstract | This guideline document outlines best practices for the safe operation of stationary energy storage systems in developing countries. It is not intended to be a stand-alone all-inclusive resource, but instead is a first point of reference for various users and developers including System Operators, Utilities, Project Developers, and Technology Providers. This document is intended to be technology agnostic, but inevitably does not fully cover all issues or potential energy storage systems. Therefore it is incumbent upon the reader to apply prudent engineering analysis and judgement to their particular situation.
The safety guidelines outlined herein follow the entire lifetime of an Energy Storage project, as it was seen in early ESS projects, that several issues and failures could have been avoided through more comprehensive safety analysis during the design and procurement stages. Where possible, examples of lessons learned and references to updated standards have been provided. |
