Battery room ventilation codes and standards protect workers by limiting the accumulation of hydrogen in the battery room. Hydrogen release is a normal part of the charging process, but trouble arises when the flammable gas becomes concentrated enough to create an explosion risk — which is why safety standards are vitally important.
Ventilation systems for stationary batteries must address human health and safety, fire safety, equipment reliability and safety, as well as human comfort. The ventilation system must prevent the accumulation of hydrogen pockets greater than 1% concentration.
BESS upstream emissions will vary based upon the power capacity (kW) and energy storage (kWh) of the system. Both system compo-nents are associated with emissions and diferent applications of BESS will require diferent combinations of power capacity and energy storage.
The battery rooms must be adequately ventilated to keep the concentration of hydrogen gas within safe limits. Some codes suggest that the battery rooms shall be ventilated at a minimum rate of 1.5 cubic feet per minute per square foot, with care to ensure proper air distribution to and within the battery storage area.
