Spanish energy storage fire protection solution

4 FAQs about Spanish energy storage fire protection solution

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 protect battery energy storage stations from fire?

High-quality fire extinguishing agents and effective fire extinguishing strategies are the main means and necessary measures to suppress disasters in the design of battery energy storage stations . Traditional fire extinguishing methods include isolation, asphyxiation, cooling, and chemical suppression .

Why is safety important for the LFP battery energy storage industry?

A BESS made of LFP batteries exploded and caught fire in China, and several firefighters suffered death and mutilation in the blast in 2021 . Therefore, safety is crucial for the high-quality development of the LFP battery energy storage industry. Fig. 2.

What is fire extinguishing agent immersion suppression?

However, the area of fire extinguishing agent attached to the battery surface is small, and the cooling effect is insufficient. Fire extinguishing agent immersion suppression is also a new method of battery thermal runaway suppression. The battery module is immersed in some media (silicone oil, HFE_7100 and water) .
