Do fire departments need better training to deal with energy storage system hazards?

Fire departments need data, research, and better training to deal with energy storage system (ESS) hazards. These are the key findings shared by UL’s Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI) and presented by Sean DeCrane, International Association of Fire Fighters Director of Health and Safety Operational Services at SEAC’s May 2023 General Meeting.

Are lithium-ion battery energy storage systems fire safe?

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.

How to prevent fire in energy storage power station?

The key to the fire prevention and control of energy storage system is early warning. Zhuo et al. took LFP battery module as the research object, and put forward the basic principles of fire detection design of energy storage power station from the aspects of risk, spacing and water supply.

Are LFP battery energy storage systems a fire suppression strategy?

A composite warning strategy of LFP battery energy storage systems is proposed. A summary of Fire suppression strategies for LFP battery energy storage systems. 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.

Will intelligent fire protection systems improve the safety of energy storage systems?

In the future, the intelligent fire protection systems will improve the safety of energy storage systems, and efficient test platforms and reliable test standards will continue to be demanded to reduce the likelihood of thermal runaway and fire severity.

How to improve the fire safety of power grid in China?

When the thermal runaway becomes uncontrollable, the fire protection strategies including the fire extinguishing, flame-retardant barrier and other methods are participating to control the fires. It is of great practical and scientific significances to improve the fire safety of power grid in China.
