We can’t decarbonize the energy grid without the support of energy storage. Grid-scale energy storage projects complement renewables by storing energy and dispatching it during periods of low wind or sunlight, creating a more resilient energy system.

Although very rare, recent energy storage fires are prompting manufacturers and project developers to ask serious questions about how to design safer projects. Fire detection systems and code requirements vary between manufacturers and regions making developers thoroughly plan how to design compliant battery energy storage systems (BESS).

So, what can and should be done to ensure that projects are safe?

Join this webinar to hear from industry experts as they discuss BESS fire detection and design features for safe global projects. Learn about:

• Conventional and addressable fire systems
• Technologies and design features to ensure BESS fire safety
• What a fire command center is and why it is needed
• What monitoring options there are for BESS fire detection systems
