Safety Working Group

The PGS-37 committee, in which ESNL participated, has developed a safety framework for energy carriers containing lithium ion. To ensure that the safety framework meets the needs of the storage industry, ESNL and its members established a Safety Working Group. This working group has advised the PGS-37 committee over the past period.

The purpose of this framework is to establish a safety standard for both existing and new battery systems with capacities greater than 20 kWh. The published measures apply to systems with a maximum capacity of 400 MWh. For larger systems, customization is required, requiring a risk analysis. The safety framework distinguishes between energy storage systems based on enclosure (Typical 1 - 3) and based on placement (Typical 4 - 6). Most measures apply only to certain types of systems.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is generally less known in senior management but extra important for critical parts of the energy system, and that certainly includes energy storage. ESNL lies to its members on an ongoing basis and monitors the latest developments in Europe and the Netherlands.

The working groups are exclusively for members of Energy Storage NL.
