All building codes and specifications must be followed to design an energy storage room. This room has to be designed as an electrical workshop. In addition, some added equipment could ease and increase the room's safety, although they are not necessarily required, See Fig. 2 for details.
Through their efforts, the Energy Storage System Guide for Compliance with Safety Codes and Standards 2016 was developed. This code for residential buildings creates minimum regulations for one- and two-family dwellings of three stories or less.
Proposed recommendations ensure safety, battery placement and end-of-life storage. These recommendations are important to avoid near-fatal incidents associated with the use of such batteries. The growth in renewable energy (RE) projects showed the importance of utility electrical energy storage.
If prefabs and containers are used -with a maximum area of 18.6 m 2 - the compartment must have a radiant energy detector system, a 2 h fire tolerance rating, and an automatic fire suppression system . If metal drums are used, vermiculite can be used to isolate the batteries from each other.
Energy Storage Cabinet is a vital part of modern energy management system, especially when storing and dispatching energy between renewable energy (such as solar energy and wind energy) and
