We develop a 3-mechanism framework based on international project governance theory and energy storage studies and test it in an extreme singlecase study of a 200 MW/800 MWh North American project. The proposed framework enabled structured responses to tariff shocks, pre-shipment defects, and schedule variances: delivery control detected early misses, the quality gate prevented defects from arriving, and the escalation mechanism facilitated timely planning under policy disruption. We provide a full implementation framework for developers and EPC contractors, embed storage-related technical requirements in project management, and provide extreme-case validation of integrated risk prevention systems.Energy storage projects, Full-chain risk management, Escalation mechanism
