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.
The fire and explosion accident of ESS will not only seriously threaten the safety of life and property, but its bad social impact will also severely limit the large-scale application of energy storage technology and hinder the progress of the energy revolution.
Interactions with power supply and discharge systems occur via an external Power Conversion System and Energy Management System as shown in Fig. 1. Battery Energy Storage Units have doors for operating and maintenance personnel and for installation and replacement of equipment.
Unfortunately, there have been a large number of energy storage battery fires in the past few years. For example, in South Korea, which has by far the largest number of energy storage battery installations, there were 23 reported fires between August 2017 and December 2018 according to the Korea Joongang Daily (2019).
Battery Energy Storage Units have doors for operating and maintenance personnel and for installation and replacement of equipment. A variety of Energy Storage Unit (ESU) sizes have been used to accommodate the varying electrical energy and power capacities required for different applications.
