Over the course of the last 12 months, more than 20 energy storage systems in Korea have caught fire, and in April last year, a 2MW battery array in Arizona caught fire and eventually exploded. Fires linked to lithium-ion batteries also occurred in Europe and Australia.
Major fire incidents involving energy storage systems have been reported recently in several countries. For example, the Arizona Public Service (APS) electric utility experienced a battery fire in April of 2019, causing injuries to four firefighters and first responders.
The ignited battery piles undergo three stages: pre-heating, self-heating, and thermal runaway, which leads to violent fire and explosion. As the SOC decreases, both the battery electrolyte leaking temperature (160~200 °C) and thermal-runaway temperature (230~280 °C) increase.
A pilot-stage lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery energy storage cabinet beneath the Minquan Bridge in Neihu District, Taipei City, caught fire in July 2020 and took firefighters more than three hours to bring under control.
Although the current work is just a preliminary study where a purely theoretical case is presented for extrapolation, it reveals the self-ignition characteristics of open-circuit battery piles, which could provide scientific guidelines to improve battery safety and reduce fire hazards during storage and transportation.
The technology used by large battery manufacturers have caused blind trust among members in other fields such as electrical control (e.g., the reliability of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs)). This has led to an underestimation of battery fire risks.
