EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Lithium-ion battery (LIB) energy storage systems (BESS) are integral to grid support, renewable energy integration, and backup power. However, they present
Lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) have emerged as a key technology for integrating renewable energy sources and grid stability. However, the significant
Battery energy storage is revolutionizing power grids, but fire safety remains a critical challenge. Advanced fire detection and suppression technologies, including immersion cooling, are making BESS safer by preventing thermal runaway and minimizing risks.
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.
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 .
Afterward, the advanced thermal runaway warning and battery fire detection technologies are reviewed. Next, the multi-dimensional detection technologies that have applied in battery energy storage systems are discussed. Moreover, the general battery fire extinguishing agents and fire extinguishing methods are introduced.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) stabilize the electrical grid, ensuring a steady flow of power to homes and businesses regardless of fluctuations from varied energy sources or other disruptions. However, fires at some BESS installations have caused concern in communities considering BESS as a method to support their grids.
Since a large amount of energy is stored in the energy storage station in the form of chemical energy, once this energy is released in the form of heat and fire, it will cause serious damage. For example, in 2024, three LFP battery energy storage station fire accidents occurred in Germany within three months .
