Energy Storage System Risk Assessment Method

Are energy storage systems a risk assessment method?

Abstract: Energy storages can significantly relieve the pressure of the power system brought by a large amount of renewable energy generation. Under this situation, the risk assessment method becomes critical. In this paper, an explicit model for diverse energy storages with battery and Hydrogen Storage Systems (HSS) is built.

Are safety engineering risk assessment methods still applicable to new energy storage systems?

While the traditional safety engineering risk assessment method are still applicable to new energy storage system, the fast pace of technological change is introducing unknown into systems and creates new paths to hazards and losses (e.g., software control).

Is systemic based risk assessment suitable for complicated energy storage system?

This paper demonstrated that systemic based risk assessment such Systems Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) is suitable for complicated energy storage system but argues that element of probabilistic risk-based assessment needs to be incorporated.

Can energy storage improve risk assessment results of a power system?

Then, the proposed method is test on a power system which is adapted from the IEEE 24-bus system. The numerical results show that diverse energy storages can improve risk assessment results of the power system. Published in: 2021 Power System and Green Energy Conference (PSGEC)

Can a large-scale solar battery energy storage system improve accident prevention and mitigation?

This work describes an improved risk assessment approach for analyzing safety designs in the battery energy storage system incorporated in large-scale solar to improve accident prevention and mitigation, via incorporating probabilistic event tree and systems theoretic analysis. The causal factors and mitigation measures are presented.

What is a safety engineering risk assessment method?

Traditional safety engineering risk assessment methods assumed that initiating events in the chain are mutually exclusive in attempt to perform probabilistic risk assessment towards it, while too often the initiating events may be not as exclusive. Technique such as STPA works by taking purist system perspective on safety.
