And the fire and explosion of energy storage stations have certain characteristics, mainly including: the types of accident batteries are mostly ternary lithium-ion batteries, and most of them occur during charging and rest periods.
There have also been considerable reports of fires and explosions in lithium battery energy storage stations. According to incomplete statistics, there have been over 30 incidents of fire and explosion at energy storage plants worldwide in the past 10 years.
The energy storage power station started construction in June 2016 and was officially put into operation in March 2017, with a scale of 2 MW/2 MWh. There are a total of 27 battery racks in the energy storage container, with 14 lithium-ion battery modules stacked in each rack and 28 lithium-ion batteries placed in each module.
According to incomplete statistics from the National Energy Information Platform, there have been a total of 32 incidents of fire and explosion at energy storage plants worldwide, including 1 in Japan, 2 in the United States, 1 in Belgium, 3 in China, and 24 in South Korea.
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).
The energy storage system was installed and put into operation in 2018, with a photovoltaic power generation capacity of 3.4MW and a storage capacity of 10MWh. The explosion destroyed 0.5MW of energy storage batteries. It is understood that the lithium-ion battery cell supplier of the energy storage station is LG New Energy.
