AI Customer ServiceA battery energy storage system can fail for many reasons, including environmental problems, poor construction, electrical abuse, physical damage or temperature issues. A failed system could cause the battery to explode, catch fire or emit poisonous gases. Working with batteries can also lead to several hazards.
Unfortunately, a small but significant fraction of these systems has experienced field failures resulting in both fires and explosions. A comprehensive review of these issues has been published in the EPRI Battery Storage Fire Safety Roadmap (report 3002022540 ), highlighting the need for specific efforts around explosion hazard mitigation.
Everyone’s safety around the battery energy storage system is crucial. Therefore, implementing hazard detection systems — such as voltage and current monitors, heat and smoke detectors, gas meters, an explosion study and fire suppression — will be necessary features.
Conclusions Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules.
Hazardous conditions due to low-temperature charging or operation can be mitigated in large ESS battery designs by including a sensing logic that determines the temperature of the battery and provides heat to the battery and cells until it reaches a value that would be safe for charge as recommended by the battery manufacturer.
Abusing a battery can result in an inoperable Energy Storage System (ESS). It can also lead to overheating, fire, and explosion. Mechanical abuse occurs when the battery is physically compromised, such as when it is crushed, dropped, penetrated, or otherwise distorted to failure by mechanical force.
