Are lithium-ion battery energy storage stations prone to gas explosions?

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.

What happened to the energy storage system?

The energy storage system was installed and put into operation in 2018, with a photovoltaic power generation capacity of 3.4MW and a storage capacity of 10MWh. The explosion destroyed 0.5MW of energy storage batteries. It is understood that the lithium-ion battery cell supplier of the energy storage station is LG New Energy.

Is a battery module overcharged in a real energy storage container?

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.

Why did a power station explode?

"The sudden explosion of the power station in the north area could be explained by the safety accident induction mechanism of lithium batteries, which is the thermal failure of the batteries in the extreme conditions when they were significantly affected by internal and external sources.

What are the characteristics of fire and explosion of energy storage stations?

And the fire and explosion of energy storage stations have certain characteristics, mainly including: the types of accident batteries are mostly ternary lithium-ion batteries, and most of them occur during charging and rest periods.

What causes large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fires?

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.
