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.
LIthium-ion batteries and an increasingly popular power source in our modern world. Unfortunately, even with all the fire risks associated with Battery Energy Storage Systems, many municipal fire departments remain behind the times when it comes to fighting this class of fire.
A layered approach to lithium-ion fire protection is preferred. Having proper detection methods in place can trigger the appropriate audio and visual warnings, and the suppression system you can in place will then trigger to isolate, ventilate, and extinguish the threat.
Moreover, the general battery fire extinguishing agents and fire extinguishing methods are introduced. Finally, the recent development of fire protection strategies of LFP battery energy storage systems is summarized, and the future directions of firefighting technology are prospected.
