ENERGY STORAGE SITES

Safety Evaluation & Site Design

Analyze site layouts, separation distances, surrounding exposures, and mitigation strategies for safer energy storage deployment.

From Test Environment to Deployment Site

Large-scale fire testing characterizes energy storage system safety under controlled conditions. At a deployment site, spacing, neighboring systems, buildings, site boundaries, wind, and surrounding infrastructure create conditions that differ from the test environment. These factors can significantly change how thermal runaway and fire events develop, propagate, and affect neighboring systems and infrastructure.

EXPLORE THE DESIGN SPACE

Explore Beyond a Single Design

Evaluate layouts, spacing, barriers, and mitigation strategies to determine how site configurations impact safety outcomes.

DESIGN COMPARISON

Design for Site-Level Safety

Screen site configurations across design variables and environmental conditions to quantify heat flux, exposure, and propagation.

BASELINE DESIGN

Current site configuration under the selected scenario

Closely spaced container rows, a smoke wisp above one of them, a wide heat field reaching the fence in green and blue.

  • Peak heat flux

    28.4 kW/m²

  • Exposed containers

    11

  • Infrastructure exposure

    Moderate

DESIGN VARIABLES

Explore how design choices and site conditions impact safety outcomes.

  • Container Spacing
  • Container Orientation
  • Thermal Barriers
  • Site Layout
  • Mitigation Strategy

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Evaluate performance under changing site conditions.

  • Wind Direction
  • Wind Speed
  • Ambient Temperature

ALTERNATIVE DESIGN

Modified site configuration with reduced exposure and risk

The same site re-laid with wider rows and a low barrier wall, the heat field now small and tight around one container.

  • Peak heat flux

    4.2 kW/m²

  • Exposed containers

    2

  • Infrastructure exposure

    Low
