In total, more than 180 MWh were involved in the fires.
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have emerged as crucial components in our transition towards sustainable energy. As we increasingly promote the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, the need for efficient energy storage becomes key.
Lithium-ion batteries in energy storage systems have distinct safety concerns that may present a serious fire hazard unless operators understand and address the risk proactively with holistic, advanced fire detection and prevention methods.
While the batteries themselves often receive the most attention with respect to safety concerns, other critical aspects, such as control systems, transformers, fire suppression systems, and cooling mechanisms, can also play significant roles in influencing the overall safety of the system.
They are only sensitive enough to detect smoke after a fire has started, which is much too late to stop thermal runaway from igniting an entire bank of batteries. Furthermore, these pre-installed systems cannot be serviced, monitored, or maintained to ensure they are in basic working order due to unit design.
