It is important for large-scale energy storage systems (ESSs) to effectively characterize the potential hazards that can result from lithium-ion battery failure and design systems that safely mitigate known hazards.
In general, energy that is stored has the potential for release in an uncontrolled manner, potentially endangering equipment, the environment, or people. All energy storage systems have hazards. Some hazards are easily mitigated to reduce risk, and others require more dedicated planning and execution to maintain safety.
Resulting primary hazards may include fire, chemical, crush, electrical, and thermal. Secondary hazards may include health and environmental. EPRI's energy storage safety research is focused in three areas, or future states, defined in the Energy Storage Roadmap: Vision for 2025 .
This manuscript comprehensively reviews the characteristics and associated influencing factors of the four hazard stages of TR, TR propagation, BVG accumulation, and fire (BVG combustion and explosion), particularly focusing on the spatial characteristics of energy storage.
Unfortunately, a small but significant fraction of these systems has experienced field failures resulting in both fires and explosions. A comprehensive review of these issues has been published in the EPRI Battery Storage Fire Safety Roadmap (report 3002022540 ), highlighting the need for specific eforts around explosion hazard mitigation.
Battery Energy Storage System accidents often incur severe losses in the form of human health and safety, damage to the property and energy production losses.
Stranded energy is a hazard because it still contains an unknown amount of electrical energy and can pose a shock risk to those working with the damaged Energy Storage System (ESS). Additionally, stranded energy can lead to reignition of a fire within minutes, hours, or even days after the initial event.
