in the area surrounding the battery storage system and fires in the battery itself. Burning cells cannot be extinguished, although a spread of fire (to additional cells and/or modules) can be effectively prevented with suitable extinguishing systems,
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.
The extinguishing agent used shall not damage the sensitive technical equipment Early detection can be provided by an Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD system), which is able to detect the electrolyte gases generated by the excessive overheating of individual battery cells.
In contrast to FM Global, NFPA 855 and marine rules do not categorically exclude any agents or system designs, but their suitability must have been validated by testing. In practically all the literature dealing with fire safety of Li-ion batteries, cooling is recognized as the key property of the potential firefighting system.
The Danish guidelines do not specify fire or explosion tests for batteries in BESS systems. In contrast, other countries have such requirements, with UL 9540A often mentioned as the preferred testing standard. No standard method for BESS explosion testing was found.
