While lithium-ion battery energy storage systems are a relatively new technology and phenomenon, there have been several notable events where significant fires and explosions have occurred in which thermal runaway was instrumental in the magnitude of the loss.
Battery Energy Storage System accidents often incur severe losses in the form of human health and safety, damage to the property and energy production losses.
Some safety accidents of energy storage stations in recent years . A fire broke out during the construction and commissioning of the energy storage power station of Beijing Guoxuan FWT, resulting in the sacrifice of two firefighters, the injury of one firefighter (stable condition) and the loss of one employee in the power station.
To reduce the safety risk associated with large battery systems, it is imperative to consider and test the safety at all levels, from the cell level through module and battery level and all the way to the system level, to ensure that all the safety controls of the system work as expected.
Incidents of battery storage facility fires and explosions are reported every year since 2018, resulting in human injuries, and millions of US dollars in loss of asset and operation.
