Description

---

"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."
NFPA 855 - Energy Storage Systems (ESS) Safety, Installation & Fire Protection is a practical course designed to help engineers, safety professionals, technicians, facility personnel, and other industry professionals understand the safety considerations associated with stationary energy storage systems.
In this course, you will develop a clear understanding ofEnergy Storage System (ESS) technologies, key ESS hazards, installation considerations, fire protection strategies, and the role of NFPA 855 in stationary energy storage safety.
You will explore important safety topics associated with ESS installations, includingthermal runaway, fire hazards, explosion risks, electrical hazards, hazardous gas release, fire detection, suppression, ventilation, emergency response, and prevention of fire propagation. The course also uses technical diagrams and practical explanations to help connect these concepts with real-world ESS applications.
What You Will Learn

---

Throughout the course, you will learn how to understand the fundamental principles of ESS safety and identify hazards associated with different energy storage technologies. You will also develop an understanding of NFPA 855 concepts related toESS installation, fire protection, safety measures, spacing and separation considerations, monitoring, detection, emergency preparedness, and risk reduction.
The course is designed to help learners understand how different safety measures work together as part of an overall ESS protection strategy rather than viewing individual protection systems in isolation.
Who Should Take This Course?
This course is suitable forfire protection engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, ESS designers and integrators, EHS/HSE professionals, plant and facility engineers, maintenance professionals, safety consultants, inspectors, project engineers, engineering students, and professionals working in renewable energy, power systems, and energy storage.
It is also suitable for beginners who want to establish a foundation in ESS safety and NFPA 855, as well as experienced professionals who want to strengthen their understanding of stationary energy storage safety concepts.
No Advanced Prerequisites
No formal prerequisites are required. Basic familiarity with engineering, electrical systems, fire safety, or industrial environments can be helpful, but previous NFPA 855 expertise is not necessary.
The course introduces the terminology and concepts progressively so that learners can follow the material even if they are new to energy storage safety.
Important Note
This course is intended foreducation and professional development. When applying information to an actual ESS project, learners should consult theapplicable edition of NFPA 855, other applicable codes and standards, project-specific requirements, and the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
