Oct 17, 2019 · Li-ion batteries combine high energy materials with highly flammable electrolytes. Early and reliable fire detection is therefore a must when designing fire protection systems for
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.
With the advantages of high energy density, short response time and low economic cost, utility-scale lithium-ion battery energy storage systems are built and installed around the world. However, due to the thermal runaway characteristics of lithium-ion batteries, much more attention is attracted to the fire safety of battery energy storage systems.
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.
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 .
Afterward, the advanced thermal runaway warning and battery fire detection technologies are reviewed. Next, the multi-dimensional detection technologies that have applied in battery energy storage systems are discussed. Moreover, the general battery fire extinguishing agents and fire extinguishing methods are introduced.
Since a large amount of energy is stored in the energy storage station in the form of chemical energy, once this energy is released in the form of heat and fire, it will cause serious damage. For example, in 2024, three LFP battery energy storage station fire accidents occurred in Germany within three months .
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%.
