Abstract: 
This report is intended to enable persons assessing energy storage installations, whether from a design, engineering or regulatory perspective, to better evaluate risks, capabilities and solutions with regard to safety. The focus and context are on installations in the maritime environment although most findings will apply similarly to other applications and industries. Like any energy source, lithium-ion batteries pose significant hazards with regard to fire and safety risk. Systems and tools are available which are fully capable of handling these risks, but it is necessary to better understand both these risks as well as the tools available so that they may be appropriately selected and implemented. It is important that the protection systems match the failure modes and consequences of a particular battery system.
