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.
Conclusions Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules.
Variation process of combustion rate in energy storage container during explosion. Due to the numerous battery modules installed in the container, the flame was limited in the middle aisle and on the top of the container. Fig. 7 a showed the combustion rate distribution at 0.24 second.
According to the International Energy Agency (2020), worldwide energy storage system capacity nearly doubled from 2017 to 2018, to reach over 8 GWh. The total installed storage power in 2018 was about 1.7 GW. About 85% of the storage capacity is from lithium-ion batteries.
The fire and explosion accident of ESS will not only seriously threaten the safety of life and property, but its bad social impact will also severely limit the large-scale application of energy storage technology and hinder the progress of the energy revolution.
