With the advantages of high energy density, short response time and low economic cost, utility-scale lithium-ion battery energy storage systems are built and installed around the world. However, due to the thermal runaway characteristics of lithium-ion batteries, much more attention is attracted to the fire safety of battery energy storage systems.
Since December 2019, Siemens has been offering a VdS-certified fire detection concept for stationary lithium-ion battery energy storage systems.* Through Siemens research with multiple lithium-ion battery manufacturers, the FDA unit has proven to detect a pending battery fire event up to 5 times faster than competitive detection technologies.
With the growing reliance on lithium-ion batteries, having a fire suppression system designed to mitigate thermal runaway is critical. To learn more about how 3S Incorporated can help you protect your facility and ensure operational continuity, visit their lithium-ion battery fire protection page.
Without the right fire suppression and detection systems, facilities storing lithium-ion batteries are at high risk for costly damage and operational downtime. Fire protection for lithium-ion battery storage spaces must account for the unique hazards posed by thermal runaway.
Fire accidents in battery energy storage stations have also gradually increased, and the safety of energy storage has received more and more attention. This paper reviews the research progress on fire behavior and fire prevention strategies of LFP batteries for energy storage at the battery, pack and container levels.
The emphasis is on risk mitigation measures and particularly on active fire protection. cooling of batteries by dedicated air or water-based circulation methods. structural means to prevent the fire from spreading out of the afected space.
