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.
Given the thousands of cells in an ESS, this is not possible in practice. The next best option related to extinguishing eficiency is to inject the extinguishing agent into each module housing several cells and, in fact, such systems are commercially available.
Early detection allows mitigation steps to be carried out long before a potentially disastrous event, such as lithium-ion battery With 5 times faster detection capability, Siemens fire detection products contribute to stationary lithium-ion battery energy storage systems manageable risk.
From a fire protection point of view, these two properties combined have created a whole new challenge: in fire conditions, Li-ion batteries behave in a fundamentally diferent way than batteries with water-based electrolyte. (cathode) and a negative electrode (anode).
Still, it is a major efort to incorporate a dedicated discharge mechanism into every single module in an ESS with hundreds of modules – but it is possible. The most practical protection option is usually an external, fixed firefighting system.
A fixed firefighting system does not stop an already occurring thermal runaway sequence within a battery module, but it can prevent fire spread from module to module, or from pack to pack, or to adjacent combustibles within the space. The afected module is likely to be fully lost, but the adjacent modules can be saved.
