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.
Mobile energy storage systems are being deployed in jurisdictions around the world, and—as demonstrated by a 2023 New Year’s Day mobile energy storage system fire —accidents can happen. We want to make sure communities are prepared for when these systems are deployed in their backyard.
The fire, triggered by a thermal runaway event, rapidly spread through the facility, causing extensive damage before it was brought under control. Although no injuries were reported, the incident highlighted the potential hazards associated with large-scale energy storage systems.
FSRI releases new report investigating near-miss lithium-ion battery energy storage system explosion.
When charging and storing a mobile energy storage system, the requirements are relatively straightforward. The system should be treated as a stationary system as far as the requirements of NFPA 855 go. These requirements will vary based on whether the system is being stored indoors, outdoors, on a rooftop, or in a parking garage. In-transit
An energy storage system contains a large amount of energy stored in a small space, which may make it the target for those who look to cause harm. For this reason, a deployed mobile energy storage system is required to be provided with a fence with a locked gate that keeps the public at least 5 ft (1.5 m) away from the ESS.
