Energy storage station container fire extinguishing system

Why is a gas extinguishing equipment installed in a container?

A gas extinguishing equipment is installed in the container in consideration of the potential for a fire to occur, as many electric parts including the cells are installed in the container. The installation of fire extinguishing equipment in the container minimizes and optimizes the amount of extinguishing gas, and reduces the extinguishing time.

Are energy storage systems a fire risk?

Energy storage systems (ESS) are designed to store and release energy on demand. While they have many benefits, they can also pose a fire risk if not properly designed, installed, and maintained. Therefore, fire protection is an important consideration when it comes to energy storage systems.

What is a 2MW energy storage system?

2MW energy storage system is currently in the process of being commissioned on the Orkney Islands, where wind power, wave power and tidal power plants are part of the energy supply mix and power is exported to or imported from the British mainland through 33kV submarine cables.

How ESS works?

The “electricity quality” to maintain the grid frequency and voltage, which was handled by the increase/decrease of generator output power, and the voltage change with a tap changer in transformer, is now attained by charging/discharging lithium-ion batteries utilizing ESS.
