Here, experimental and numerical studies on the gas explosion hazards of container type lithium-ion battery energy storage station are carried out. In the experiment, the LiFePO 4 battery module of 8.8kWh was overcharged to thermal runaway in a real energy storage container, and the combustible gases were ignited to trigger an explosion.
Unfortunately, a small but significant fraction of these systems has experienced field failures resulting in both fires and explosions. A comprehensive review of these issues has been published in the EPRI Battery Storage Fire Safety Roadmap (report 3002022540 ), highlighting the need for specific eforts around explosion hazard mitigation.
Deflagration pressure and gas burning velocity in one important incident. High-voltage arc induced explosion pressures. Utility-scale lithium-ion energy storage batteries are being installed at an accelerating rate in many parts of the world. Some of these batteries have experienced troubling fires and explosions.
The battery module of 8.8kWh is overcharged in a real energy storage container. The generation and explosion phenomenon of the combustible gases are analyzed. The numerical study on gas explosion of energy storage station are carried out. Lithium-ion battery is widely used in the field of energy storage currently.
Considering that gas explosion may cause thermal runaway of battery module in the actual scene, the existence of high-temperature zone may be longer and the temperature peak may be higher. After the combustible gas got on fire, the gases volume expanded by high-temperature compresses the volume of the surrounding gases.
Therefore, the safety protection and explosion suppression ability of lithium-ion battery ESS are significantly important. It is urgent to conduct in-depth studies on the gas explosion behavior and characteristics of lithium-ion battery ESS.
