Fire protection system of energy storage station

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.

Why do we need a safe energy storage & fire protection system?

In summary, by building a safe energy storage and fire protection system, the battery can run at the proper temperature range. When malfunctions of batteries take place, the monitoring of characteristic parameters can be used for safety evaluations of the LIB, so as to avoid further thermal runaway and accidents.

Can a lithium-ion battery energy storage system detect a fire?

Since December 2019, Siemens has been offering a VdS-certified fire detection concept for stationary lithium-ion battery energy storage systems.* Through Siemens research with multiple lithium-ion battery manufacturers, the FDA unit has proven to detect a pending battery fire event up to 5 times faster than competitive detection technologies.

What is battery energy storage fire prevention & mitigation?

In 2019, EPRI began the Battery Energy Storage Fire Prevention and Mitigation – Phase I research project, convened a group of experts, and conducted a series of energy storage site surveys and industry workshops to identify critical research and development (R&D) needs regarding battery safety.

Does active fire protection work for energy storage systems?

To date there is no publicly available test data that confirms the effectiveness of any active fire protection for energy storage systems, and there are no fire protection systems FM Approved for this application. The ability of active fire protection to stop or prevent Li-ion battery thermal runaway reactions has not been shown.

What is energy storage power station (EESS)?

The EESS is composed of battery, converter and control system. In order to meet the demand for large capacity, energy storage power stations use a large number of single batteries in series or in parallel, which makes it easy to cause thermal runaway of batteries, which poses a serious threat to the safety of energy storage power stations.
