Concerns Grow Over Safety of Large Lithium-Ion Battery Arrays on US Electrical Grids
Lithium-ion battery arrays being installed on electrical grids in the US are raising concerns among residents, who question their safety despite growing use of energy storage systems.
Residents have raised concerns about the safety of large lithium-ion battery arrays connected to electrical grids in the US, following their increasing use for storing power during high demand periods. The deployment of these energy storage systems has sparked worries about potential fires and other hazards. While some experts argue that the technology is safe when properly designed and maintained, others express skepticism about its reliability. As a result, regulatory bodies are under pressure to establish clearer guidelines for the installation and operation of these battery arrays.
