What are the requirements for a battery energy storage enclosure?
The edges of the ventilation must be at least 1 metre from the edges of: Furthermore, any ventilation for the location must not compromise the fire resistance of the enclosure. PAS 63100-2024 represents a significant advancement in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the UK.
Where can a battery energy storage system be installed?
This includes walls, ceilings, and floors with a fire performance rating of at least REI 30. PAS-63100-2024 imposes strict regulations on the placement of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to ensure safety. Certain areas within a dwelling are categorically unsuitable for battery installation. The following locations are strictly prohibited:
Should a battery energy storage system be installed on an external wall?
If a battery energy storage system (BESS) is installed on the external wall of a building, it should not compromise the fire performance of the external wall. Service penetrations should be adequately fire-stopped, and internal combustible substrates should not be exposed by the installation.
Are battery energy storage systems subject to environmental permitting?
DEFRA is planning to bring battery energy storage systems (BESS) into the environmental permitting regime. However, some operators may be unaware that they may be subject to it already, putting themselves in potential legal jeopardy.
Where should storage batteries be located?
The ideal location for storage batteries is outside dwellings and away from rooms used for living. If outdoor placement is not feasible, there are basic requirements for indoor locations housing storage batteries. These include: Ensuring batteries are separated from habitable rooms and escape routes by appropriate fire compartmentation.
How should a storage battery enclosure be ventilated?
All indoor locations containing storage batteries should have fresh-air ventilation to the outdoors. The ventilation system should not compromise the fire resistance of the enclosure. The edges of the outdoor port for such ventilation should be at least 1 m from the edges of doors, windows, or ventilation ports for other locations.
