2. Executive summary Li-ion battery Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are quickly becoming the most common type of electrochemical energy store for land and marine applications, and the use of the technology is continuously expanding.
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.
For example, an extract of Annex C Fire-Fighting Considerations (Operations) in NFPA 855 states the following in C.5.1 Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) Batteries: Water is considered the preferred agent for suppressing lithium-ion battery fires. Water has superior cooling capacity, is plentiful (in many areas), and is easy to transport to the seat of the fire.
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. ABS, BV, DNV, LR, and RINA. 3. Basics of lithium-ion battery technology
Marine class rules: Key design aspects for the fire protection of Li-ion battery spaces. In general, fire detection (smoke/heat) is required, and battery manufacturer requirements are referred to in some of the rules. Of-gas detection is specifically required in most rules.
Water spray has been deemed safe as an agent for use on high-voltage systems. Water mist fire suppression systems need to be designed specifically for use with the size and configuration of the specific ESS installation or enclosure being protected. Currently there is no generic design method recognized for water mist systems.
