needed that include proactive communication and training for both staff and emergency responders on relevant risks, what emergency events may look like, and how to handle them.
• Need for integrated system supervisor with complete situational awareness at all times— Installations designed to operate too remotely and/or with various detection and management systems monitored by multiple separate parties inhibit fast and efficient emergency response. A single integrated platform and/or coordinator for all operating and monitoring systems is needed. Also, events point to a need for situational awareness even when the batteries are offline.
• Codes and standards have evolved rapidly to address many types of component and system-level risks, but within limits. Risk management activities beyond meeting codes and standards are needed in order to address secondary impacts like reliability of storage and co-located electricity supply, and to establish broader multi-party coordination and communication protocols such as emergency response plans.
• Events in other jurisdictions don’t reflect some California-specific and local risks and implications—such as local environmental extremes, grid outages during a heat wave or extreme wildfire weather and how that might affect the storage system, fire propagation from and to the storage system in certain locations, and water supply constraints.
