SUMMARY:2025 March - Challenges with Energy Storage Systems in Large Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Challenges with Energy Storage Systems in Large Buildings \nPresented by: JENS CONZEN\, Dipl.-Ing.\, EUR ING\, MSc\, MBA\, Jensen Hughes\, INC. \nProgram: \nEnergy storage systems (ESS) are increasingly being integrated into buildings to help balance supply and demand\, enhance operational efficiency\, and reduce energy costs. As these systems become more widespread\, they also bring with them some safety challenges.  Most notably\, the safety hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries. \nRecent years have seen a surge in the deployment of lithium-ion battery ESS\, and with this growth\, the number of incidents has also risen. Lithium-ion batteries can undergo a condition called thermal runaway. The typical consequence is the release of potentially large quantities flammable and toxic gases\, which must be taken into account in the building safety concept. \nThis presentation will explore the challenges of implementing ESS in large buildings by examining safety hazards\, outline possible safety strategies\, discuss mitigation measures\, and by reviewing incidents that recently occurred at large-scale indoor ESS. \nPresenter: \nJens Conzen is Vice President for the North Region at Jensen Hughes. His primary responsibilities include fire and building safety as well as industrial and process safety. He serves on industry advisory committees on lithium-ion battery safety\, fire mitigation and prevention. He is technical committee member of NFPA 855\, the leading fire safety standard for the installation of energy storage systems and storage of lithium-ion batteries. \nThis meeting will take place at: \nWaterview \n350 W Wolff Point Plaza\n15th Floor\,\nChicago\, IL 60654 \nThe committee meeting will start at the usual time 5:00 pm in the LaSalle Room with drinks and appetizers. At 6:00 pm we will adjourn for our business meeting and technical presentation. \nDo you have a program you would like to share with the committee\, please feel free to reach out to our program coordinator at jose.estrada@clarkdietrich.com
