Battery systems, modules and cells must be protected against external (electrical) fires. Possible measures: Fire alarm system with automatic extinguishing system for electrical risks. The extinguishing agent should ensure zero residue to the protection of the installation.
Therefore, it is first of all necessary to protect the storage systems from an external fire event in order to prevent cell breakdown processes initiated due to external combustion heat. First and foremost, every litium-ion battery energy storage poses an electrical fire risk.
Evidence has shown that the key to successful fire protection of lithium-ion batteries is suppressing/extinguishing the fire, reducing of heat-transfer from cell to cell and then cooling the adjacent cells that make up the battery pack/module.
Provision of suitable compartmentation around the battery packs to limit the spread of any fire, this is probably much simpler in marine applications. Suitable Battery Management Systems linked to fire and gas detection systems to enable fast detection to allow for activation of fire protection systems and evacuation of passengers where applicable.
First and foremost, every litium-ion battery energy storage poses an electrical fire risk. Statistics (GDV) show that in around 25% of all cases, electrical fires are the cause of major losses and the main cause of fires in industrial companies.
The filigree design, the ever increasing energy density and aging of the battery are the causes of the danger. If external mechanical forces are excluded, then a fire caused by battery cells themselves is always due to age-related damage to the separator and a subsequent internal short-circuit.
Focus on automotive: The role of battery fire protection coatings …
Traditional fire protection systems involve materials such as mica sheets, fire blankets, aerogel or other materials that are glued or otherwise attached to the battery lid or tray. Although these are cost-effective, they are often difficult to integrate into automation processes and are bulkier and less durable compared to coating solutions.
