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.
Some of these batteries have experienced troubling fires and explosions. There have been two types of explosions; flammable gas explosions due to gases generated in battery thermal runaways, and electrical arc explosions leading to structural failure of battery electrical enclosures.
Several lithium-ion battery energy storage system incidents involved electrical faults producing an arc flash explosion. The arc flash in these incidents occurred within some type of electrical enclosure that could not withstand the thermal and pressure loads generated by the arc flash.
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.
More seriously, the combustible gases produced by the battery during thermal runaway have a high risk of explosion. According to statistics, 32 fire and explosion accidents have occurred in the world from 2011 to 2021.
