Moment Energy provides a clean, affordable, and reliable battery energy storage system (BESS) by repurposing retired electric vehicle batteries.
Fire prevention measures designed for Moment Energy's Luna Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
This document outlines the fire prevention measures designed for Moment Energy's Luna Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). As a company focused on repurposing electric vehicle batteries into sustainable battery energy storage solutions, Moment Energy recognizes the critical importance of safety, particularly concerning potential fire hazards associated with BESS technology.
These robust safety protocols and preventative measures are implemented to mitigate these risks. The document also describes our comprehensive emergency response plan. Our commitment to safety is paramount, and this document demonstrates the proactive approach we take to ensure the secure and reliable operation of our BESS units.
The document covers all aspects of fire safety, from design and installation to operation and maintenance, and reflects our dedication to exceeding industry best practices and regulatory requirements.
The BC Hydro Energy Storage Incentive (ESI) program played a crucial role in enabling this project to implement a Moment Energy battery energy storage system (BESS). By financing 80% of the project cost, the ESI program facilitated the customer’s ability to adopt energy storage technology and reduce their energy costs.
Limited Transformer Capacity
The site's current power capacity is 1250 kW, with plans to upgrade to 1750 kW. However, the remaining 56 kWh (56 kVA) capacity is a major obstacle to electrification. Upgrading transformer capacity can take multiple years, adding further delays to meeting the site's power needs.
Peak Demand for Electricity
The site's current power capacity is 1250 kW, with plans to upgrade to 1750 kW. However, the remaining 56 kWh (56 kVA) capacity is a major obstacle to electrification. Upgrading transformer capacity can take multiple years, adding further delays to meeting the site's power needs.
Moment Energy’s Luna BESS provides clean, affordable, and reliable power.
750 kVA BESS
Moment Energy recommended a 750 kVA BESS, with 400 kVA nominated for the BC Hydro ESI program and the rest for the customer's operations.
Energy Management System
The Luna BESS was integrated with an EMS to support the facility's two MVA transformer and manage participation in demand response events.
Remote Support & Maintainance
Moment Energy will provide ten years of remote support and maintenance for the Luna BESS, ensuring its optimal performance and reliability.
The BC Hydro Energy Storage Incentive (ESI) program played a crucial role in enabling this project to implement a Moment Energy battery energy storage system (BESS). By financing 80% of the project cost, the ESI program facilitated the customer’s ability to adopt energy storage technology and reduce their energy costs.
Project Cost Funded by BC Hydro
Participation in the BC Hydro ESI Program resulted in significant cost reduction for the project. The customer received financial incentives for nominating capacity to reduce loads from the BC Hydro grid during the winter months.
Additional Power
The Luna BESS deployment provided an additional 750 kVA of available power, addressing the transformer capacity constraint and facilitating future electrification efforts at the facility.
Moment Energy's Luna BESS utilizes a combination of preventative measures, detection systems, and mitigation strategies to minimize fire risks.
The system features an advanced BMS for real-time monitoring and automated responses to potential hazards.
A robust steel enclosure, safety clearances, and controlled ventilation further enhance fire safety and prevent the spread of any potential incidents.
