Abstract

The grid energy storage systems, particularly renewable energy storage, are increasingly becoming more common. Thus, identifying and evaluating possible hazards and consequences are of utmost priority. This paper focuses on five energy storage systems, compressed air energy storage system, liquid air energy storage system, thermal energy storage in concentrated solar power plant, lithium-ion battery and flywheel energy storage system. The description of these systems is followed by a fundamental event tree analysis of a single most hazardous initiating event within the system. The installed safety barriers are assumed for event tree analysis based on relevant data and consequences analyzed. The failure on-demand and reliability are the two pathways for each installed safety barrier system. The analysis provides insight into worst-case scenarios and guides designers in considering the inherently safer design and redundant safety installations. However, further research is needed for accurate probabilistic calculation results based on actual failure on-demand rates obtained from industry-specific data of these instruments.
