However, these systems may be used in the computer or control rooms of an ESS to control any electrical fires. Thermal runaway in lithium batteries results in an uncontrollable rise in temperature and propagation of extreme fire hazards within a battery energy storage system (BESS).
These systems combine high energy materials with highly flammable electrolytes. Consequently, one of the main threats for this type of energy storage facility is fire, which can have a significant impact on the viability of the installation.
ESSs are available in a variety of forms and sizes. For example, many utility companies use pumped-storage hydropower (PSH) to store energy. With these systems, excess available energy is used to pump water into a reservoir during times of low demand.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have emerged as crucial components in our transition towards sustainable energy. As we increasingly promote the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, the need for efficient energy storage becomes key.
comprehensive fire protection concept is therefore an essential pre-requisite in managing the inherent risks and ensuring business continuity. The main focus of this application guide is stationary storage systems with a capacity of over 1 MWh.
While these layers of protection help prevent damage to the system, they can also block water from accessing the seat of the fire. So, large amounts of water are needed to effectively combat the heat generated from ESS fires, and cooling the hottest part of the fire is often difficult.
