    What is AS/NZS 5139 – Electrical Installations – Safety of battery systems?

    “AS/NZS 5139:2019 – Electrical installations – Safety of battery systems for use with power conversion equipment” sets out general installation and safety requirements for battery energy storage systems (BESSs).

    Are battery energy storage systems safe?

    The installation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is governed by stringent safety standards as outlined in AS/NZS 5139:2019, specifically in sections 4, 5, and 6. These sections impose explicit restrictions on permissible installation locations to mitigate safety risks.

    Is there an Australian standard for large energy storage batteries?

    A major issue identified by ESV is the absence of an Australian Standard for large energy storage battery facilities. Efforts are being made to expedite the creation and subsequent release of an appropriate standard, however as an interim measure, technical guidance will represent an iterative update of the existing CEC guidance.

    What is a battery energy storage system (BESS)?

    Battery energy storage systems (BESS) operated by distribution network service providers (DNSPs) are systems used to store electrical energy and provide a range of services to the electricity grid.

    What are the labelling requirements for a Bess battery?

    AS/NZS 5139 includes labelling requirements for all BESS installations. A battery has sufficient energy to cause an arc flash if it suffers a short circuit or fault. An arc flash can have temperatures above 12,000°C, capable of melting metal or causing fires and explosions.

    Can workers and management work together to reduce battery energy storage risks?

    Workers and management can work together to reduce the risks of battery energy storage systems. As a worker, you must: cooperate with management to meet health and safety requirements and reduce risks.
