6 FAQs about [Fire protection design of energy storage battery box]

Why is it important to protect battery energy storage systems from fire?

Therefore, it is first of all necessary to protect the storage systems from an external fire event in order to prevent cell breakdown processes initiated due to external combustion heat. First and foremost, every litium-ion battery energy storage poses an electrical fire risk.

How to protect a battery system from a fire?

Battery systems, modules and cells must be protected against external (electrical) fires. Possible measures: Fire alarm system with automatic extinguishing system for electrical risks. The extinguishing agent should ensure zero residue to the protection of the installation.

What is battery energy storage fire prevention & mitigation?

In 2019, EPRI began the Battery Energy Storage Fire Prevention and Mitigation – Phase I research project, convened a group of experts, and conducted a series of energy storage site surveys and industry workshops to identify critical research and development (R&D) needs regarding battery safety.

Are battery energy storage systems safe?

Owners of energy storage need to be sure that they can deploy systems safely. Over a recent 18-month period ending in early 2020, over two dozen large-scale battery energy storage sites around the world had experienced failures that resulted in destructive fires. In total, more than 180 MWh were involved in the fires.

Why is a battery storage system important?

The combination of high energy densities and flammable electrolytes puts high demands on associated fire protection systems. ◼ Statistics1 show that electrical fires account for over 25% of major fire losses in industrial companies. ◼ The importance of Li-ion battery storage systems has increased dramatically in recent years.

How do lithium-ion batteries protect against fire?

Evidence has shown that the key to successful fire protection of lithium-ion batteries is suppressing/extinguishing the fire, reducing of heat-transfer from cell to cell and then cooling the adjacent cells that make up the battery pack/module.
