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.
High-quality fire extinguishing agents and effective fire extinguishing strategies are the main means and necessary measures to suppress disasters in the design of battery energy storage stations . Traditional fire extinguishing methods include isolation, asphyxiation, cooling, and chemical suppression .
Fire suppression strategies of battery energy storage systems In the BESC systems, a large amount of flammable gas and electrolyte are released and ignited after safety venting, which could cause a large-scale fire accident.
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.
