In summary, fire-protection systems can save material objects and most importantly, human beings, making them very important investments. Types of active fire protection systems. Active fire-protection systems are the systems that are acting to extinguish a fire. These systems are composed of fire-detection modules and an active element:
Battery systems, modules and cells must be protected against external (electrical) fires. Possible measures: Fire alarm system with automatic extinguishing system for electrical risks. The extinguishing agent should ensure zero residue to the protection of the installation.
Therefore, it is first of all necessary to protect the storage systems from an external fire event in order to prevent cell breakdown processes initiated due to external combustion heat. First and foremost, every litium-ion battery energy storage poses an electrical fire risk.
First and foremost, every litium-ion battery energy storage poses an electrical fire risk. Statistics (GDV) show that in around 25% of all cases, electrical fires are the cause of major losses and the main cause of fires in industrial companies.
However, key issues in any fire protection system are the selection of the most appropriate agent for the specific hazard, system layout, the correct discharge of the extinguishing agent, as well as correct installation, the use of approved systems and constant maintenance by appropriately trained staff.
Detection systems for smoke and heat are also applicable for fire alarm purposes and triggering a fire protection system – in the event that early intervention is not successful. Automatic fire protection systems either extinguish or prevent incipient fires in order to protect objects, rooms or entire buildings from fires and their consequences.
Provision of suitable compartmentation around the battery packs to limit the spread of any fire, this is probably much simpler in marine applications. Suitable Battery Management Systems linked to fire and gas detection systems to enable fast detection to allow for activation of fire protection systems and evacuation of passengers where applicable.
