In the case of incipient fires in the vicinity of the batteries (e.g., fire in the power electronics, etc.), reduce the impact in such a way as to ensure that fire spread to the batteries is prevented. Possible measures: Fire alarm system with automatic extinguishing system for electrical risks.
The 2018 International Fire Code, Section 608, covers Fire Codes for Energy Storage Systems, specifically Stationary Storage Battery Systems (with permission of the International Code Council).
Evidence has shown that the key to successful fire protection of lithium-ion batteries is suppressing/extinguishing the fire, reducing of heat-transfer from cell to cell and then cooling the adjacent cells that make up the battery pack/module.
The filigree design, the ever increasing energy density and aging of the battery are the causes of the danger. If external mechanical forces are excluded, then a fire caused by battery cells themselves is always due to age-related damage to the separator and a subsequent internal short-circuit.
