DoomsdaysCWSo, a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BatteryEnergyStorageSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BatteryEnergyStorageSystem</a> is in the works a few miles from where we live -- on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacoRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SacoRiver</a>. The local fire departments are already working on keeping on top of an incident if one happens, and knowing what to do if a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBatteryFire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBatteryFire</a> breaks out (the area where we live was mostly burned down in 1947, so fires are a big deal around here). It's something to be aware of. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBatteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBatteries</a> aren't the saviors they are being made out to be. We need to invest in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SodiumIonBatteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SodiumIonBatteries</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SaltWaterBatteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SaltWaterBatteries</a> and anything BUT <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Lithium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lithium</a> at this point -- ASAP! <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoLithiumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NoLithiumMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBatteryFires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBatteryFires</a>

DoomsdaysCW<a href="https://mastodon.scot/@Thebratdragon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Thebratdragon</a> It seems the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tesla</a> batteries were involved in the fire. And it seems that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PacificGasAndElectric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PacificGasAndElectric</a> also had a hand in "ensuring safety" at the facility. And they want to keep <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DiabloCanyonNuclearPlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiabloCanyonNuclearPlant</a> going? smh"This is not the plant's first fire; it experienced another in September 2022, when an individual battery storage unit rose in flames."Operations resumed in December 2022 after the Energy Safety Response Group (ESRG), a third-party energy safety consultant, finalized a review of the situation. PG&E, in conjunction with Tesla, the battery provider, 'implemented corrective actions and conducted extensive system testing,' as PG&E announced."The exact cause of the current incident at the plant remains uncertain. Still, ESRG's 2022 report identified that last year's fire was sparked by 'an equipment installation issue resulting in water ingress caused the battery's cells to overheat and catch fire,' according to the press release."Due to the blaze, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Highway1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Highway1</a> near the site has been shut down, as reported by KION concerning the California Highway Patrol."<a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/tesla-battery-storage-plant-fire-erupts-as-residents-told-to-shelter-in-place/ar-AA1xlUae" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/tesla-battery-storage-plant-fire-erupts-as-residents-told-to-shelter-in-place/ar-AA1xlUae</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MossLandingPowerPlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MossLandingPowerPlant</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MontereyCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MontereyCounty</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BESSfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BESSfires</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBatteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBatteries</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBatteryFires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBatteryFires</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MossLanding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MossLanding</a>

DoomsdaysCWNot to mention possible <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hacking</a> of operating systems -- you know, like the electronic devices in Lebanon?"The root causes of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BESSfires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BESSfires</a> and explosions can be attributed to a variety of factors, such as: - Improper design is often a significant issue, where systems may not be sufficiently engineered to withstand operational stresses or may lack essential safety measures. - Manufacturing defects can also play a critical role, as flaws in the production process may lead to issues during operation. - Incorrect installation practices can result in connections that are not secure or that lead to short circuits. - Incompatible components within the systems can further exacerbate risks by causing malfunctions. - Failures during normal operations—such as overcharging, overheating, or errors in the battery management system—can lead to hazardous situations. These failures may arise from external factors like extreme weather, physical damage, or human errors, including inadequate maintenance."It’s important to note that failures can occur in different components of the BESS. While the batteries themselves often receive the most attention with respect to safety concerns, other critical aspects, such as control systems, transformers, fire suppression systems, and cooling mechanisms, can also play significant roles in influencing the overall safety of the system."For instance, if control systems are not programmed or calibrated correctly, they may fail to monitor and manage battery performance effectively, leading to overheating or even thermal runaway. Similarly, inadequately designed fire suppression systems may not activate promptly in the event of a fire, allowing the situation to escalate. Additionally, ineffective cooling mechanisms can contribute to excessive heat buildup."<a href="https://www.gexcon.com/blog/battery-energy-storage-system-bess-fire-and-explosion-prevention/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.gexcon.com/blog/battery-energy-storage-system-bess-fire-and-explosion-prevention/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBattery</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBatteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBatteries</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBatteryFires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBatteryFires</a>

DoomsdaysCWBESS Failure Incident DatabaseThe database compiles information about stationary battery energy storage system (BESS) failure incidents. There are two tables in this database: - Stationary Energy Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks utility-scale and commercial and industrial (C&I) failures. - Other Storage Failure Incidents – this table tracks incidents that do not fit the criteria for the first table. This could include failures involving the manufacturing, transportation, storage, and recycling of energy storage.Residential energy storage system failures are not currently tracked.If you would like to be notified when a new event is added to this database or are interested in other EPRI energy storage safety research resources and opportunities please reach out to Storage-Safety@epri.com. For more information on energy storage safety, visit the Storage Safety Wiki Page.The BESS Failure Incident Database was initiated in 2021 as part of a wider suite of BESS safety research after the concentration of lithium ion BESS fires in South Korea and the Surprise, AZ, incident in the US. The database was created to inform energy storage industry stakeholders and the public on BESS failures.Read more: <a href="https://storagewiki.epri.com/index.php/BESS_Failure_Incident_Database" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://storagewiki.epri.com/index.php/BESS_Failure_Incident_Database</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBattery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBattery</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBatteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBatteries</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBatteryFires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LithiumBatteryFires</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BESSFires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BESSFires</a>
