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. However, the combustible gases produced by the batteries during thermal runaway process may lead to explosions in energy storage station.
Variation process of combustion rate in energy storage container during explosion. Due to the numerous battery modules installed in the container, the flame was limited in the middle aisle and on the top of the container. Fig. 7 a showed the combustion rate distribution at 0.24 second.
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.
Considering that gas explosion may cause thermal runaway of battery module in the actual scene, the existence of high-temperature zone may be longer and the temperature peak may be higher. After the combustible gas got on fire, the gases volume expanded by high-temperature compresses the volume of the surrounding gases.
The thermal runaway gas explosion scenarios, which can be initiated by various electrical faults, can be either prompt ignitions soon after a large flammable gas mixture is formed, or delayed ignitions associated with late entry of air and/or loss of gaseous fire suppression agent.
At the end of the explosion, the highest temperature inside the container of the explosion can exceed 2000K. The area of high-temperature at 343K and above is wider at the low altitude layer of 0.4m. The duration of overpressure is only about 1 second.
