Alternative & Renewable Energy
Specialist fire, risk and safety support for battery storage and renewable energy projects, helping them move from planning approval to safe operation.
Powering the energy transition, safely
Battery storage, solar, wind, hydrogen and data centres are growing fast, and regulators and fire authorities expect every project to show how its hazards are understood and controlled. RSSM brings specialist Li-ion and BESS risk expertise to each stage, so projects move forward without safety setbacks.
Battery & Li-BESS
Grid-scale and on-site battery storage, where thermal runaway and fire spread shape the safety case.
Data Centres
Battery backup and fuel storage that must stay safe while critical services keep running.
Solar
Solar farms and PV with battery storage, often on remote or bushfire-prone land.
Wind
Wind farms where fire and emergency plans must cover large, remote sites.
Hydrogen
Production and storage of a highly flammable gas, with explosion and dispersion risks to control.
Battery storage brings new hazards
Regulators and fire authorities expect BESS and renewable projects to show, with evidence, how thermal runaway, fire and toxic release will be prevented and controlled.
Thermal runaway
Li-ion thermal runaway and its consequences modelled for your specific battery system.
Fire & explosion
Fire spread and explosion from battery off-gas assessed against separation and suppression.
Toxic gas dispersion
Toxic and flammable gas dispersion modelled to protect people on and off site.
Bushfire & emergency access
Bushfire exposure and responder access planned for remote solar, wind and BESS sites.
Support at every stage of your project
From concept design through installation, commissioning and operation, the right study at the right time keeps approvals on track.
Planning & approval
Hazard analysis and early fire safety input to support development approval.
Design
Fire safety studies and consequence modelling that shape separation, suppression and layout.
Commissioning
Emergency response planning and site information so fire authorities are ready before go-live.
Operation
Fire and emergency management plans, with risk reviews as your site grows or changes.
