Fire departments need data, research, and better training to deal with energy storage system (ESS) hazards. These are the key findings shared by UL’s Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI) and presented by Sean DeCrane, International Association of Fire Fighters Director of Health and Safety Operational Services at SEAC’s May 2023 General Meeting.
2.2 Fire Characteristics of Electrochemical Energy Storage Power Station Electrochemical energy storage power station mainly consists of energy storage unit, power conversion system, battery management system and power grid equipment.
Fire information monitoring At present, most of the energy storage power stations can only collect and display the status information of fire fighting facilities (such as fire detectors, fire extinguishing equipment, etc.) in the station.
The information between the fire control room and each energy storage station can be transmitted by optical cable or wireless communication, and based on the communication protocol DL/T634.5101 and DL/T634.5104,the relevant secondary equipment is deployed in the security II area.
In 2019, EPRI began the Battery Energy Storage Fire Prevention and Mitigation – Phase I research project, convened a group of experts, and conducted a series of energy storage site surveys and industry workshops to identify critical research and development (R&D) needs regarding battery safety.
However, a number of fires occurred in recent years have shown that the existing regulations do not show sufficient recogni- tion of the fire risks of energy storage systems and specific fire early warning methods and fire-fighting measures have not yet been developed.
For this reason, it is recommended to apply the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 855 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems …
