Developer and optimiser Ingrid Capacity and storage owner-operator BW ESS have been working together to deliver 14 large BESS projects across the Swedish grid in tariff zones SE3 and SE4.
The existing research findings on the explosion risk of energy storage systems struggle to effectively uncover the essence of accidents and accurately depict the shock dynamics of explosion and the evolution of disasters induced by the coupling of constraint boundaries.
For example, in April 2019 in Arizona, USA, a massive battery energy storage system (EES) exploded, injuring eight firefighters ; In April 2021, a tragic incident involving a thermal runaway fire and explosion of a lithium iron phosphate battery took place at the Dahongmen Energy Storage Power Station in Beijing, China.
Swedish Energy Agency has been tasked by the Government to be responsible for the official statistics within following areas, supply and use of energy, energy balances and price development. The Government has appointed Caroline Asserup as the new permanent Director General of the Swedish Energy Agency. Her term will run until August 2031.
Peak Pmfa and Pcv dominated the explosion overpressure hazard in ESS container. The overpressure ‘three-peak’ structure was found outside the ESS container. The external explosion of TR gas increased the hazard outside the container. Venting dynamic pressure hazard came from the external evolution accumulation.
However, neither of these projects had been completed and energised when RES launched the Elektra energy storage project in late April, a 20 MW/20 MWh project billed as Sweden's largest battery storage project at the time.
