Lithium-ion battery technology has become a standard solution in this application due to its technical performance. However, its unique fire hazard is a concern in the industry, increasing the need for dedicated lithium-ion battery fire suppression solutions.
Fire Hazard of Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage Systems: 1. Module to Rack-scale Fire Tests Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) are being increasingly deployed in energy storage systems (ESS) due to a high energy density. However, the inherent flammability of current LIBs presents a new challenge to fire protection system design.
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) energy storage systems (LIB-ESS) come in a variety of types, sizes, applications, and locations. The use of the technology is continually expanding, becoming more available for a range of energy storage applications, from small residential support systems to large electrical grid systems.
Nitrogen suppression is the best solution to effectively protect lithium-ion battery fire hazards. By using high-pressure nitrogen cylinders (4351 PSI), the Sinorix NXN N2 solution has a smaller footprint, allowing for better utilization of space in smaller enclosures (e.g. a 20' BESS unit). licenses.
For example, an extract of Annex C Fire-Fighting Considerations (Operations) in NFPA 855 states the following in C.5.1 Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) Batteries: Water is considered the preferred agent for suppressing lithium-ion battery fires.
