Sherburne, NY’s battery storage moratorium highlights a growing challenge for local governments as they balance grid reliability with real-world safety concerns. The moratorium reflects a standards-first approach, where system design, fire risk management, and environmental protection shape how battery energy storage projects earn public trust.
Minnesota is emerging as a leading state for battery energy storage deployment. With layered incentives, evolving grid policies, and growing market opportunities, commercial and public-sector projects can use BESS to reduce costs, strengthen resilience, and support the state’s transition to a carbon-free electric grid.
A 25 MW battery fire near Arizona’s Glendale-Peoria border exposed how quickly lithium-ion failures can escalate. This analysis examines what happened at SRP’s Bolster Substation and how immersion cooling and toxic gas neutralization could redefine safety in utility-scale battery energy storage systems.
As battery energy storage systems scale closer to people and infrastructure, safety and longevity are no longer optional. Immersion cooling addresses fire risk, thermal runaway, and degradation at the cell level. Synthetic ester immersion fluids, engineered for high fire-point behavior and long-term stability, enable safer siting and predictable performance across decades of operation worldwide today.
A fire at Convergent Energy & Power’s Church Street battery storage facility in Warwick, NY renewed scrutiny of BESS fire safety. This article examines what happened, how the response unfolded, and why incidents like this are driving interest in safer energy storage architectures that prevent fires and reduce toxic gas risk.
The DOE’s GRIP program supports grid resilience and modernization through targeted federal funding. Battery energy storage improves reliability, enables renewable integration, and supports resilient infrastructure. This blog outlines how GRIP works, why BESS is prioritized, and how storage technologies strengthen funding applications.
Liquid plate cooling is widely used in battery energy storage systems, but uneven heat removal creates hot and cold spots that quietly accelerate degradation. This article explores how thermal imbalance shortens battery life, increases safety risk, and why uniform cooling approaches are becoming critical for long-term BESS performance.
The Moss Landing BESS fire released 55,000 pounds of toxic metals into one of California’s most sensitive wetlands. This event revealed critical gaps in battery safety and environmental protection. Advanced solutions like HazGuard gas neutralization and LiquidShield immersion cooling can help prevent similar incidents in future energy storage deployments.
Levelized Cost of Storage reveals how design choices, operating conditions, and thermal management shape long-term battery economics. Immersion cooling delivers measurable LCOS advantages by reducing thermal stress, slowing degradation, and supporting higher efficiency, making it particularly valuable for high-utilization commercial, industrial, and utility-scale storage applications.
Partnership strengthens joint technical, marketing, and sector development efforts using Shell’s dielectric liquid in EticaAG’s next-generation BESS platforms.
