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.
Since December 2019, Siemens has been offering a VdS-certified fire detection concept for stationary lithium-ion battery energy storage systems.* Through Siemens research with multiple lithium-ion battery manufacturers, the FDA unit has proven to detect a pending battery fire event up to 5 times faster than competitive detection technologies.
In addition to controlling the automated extinguishing system, the fire protection system triggers all other necessary battery management system control functions. A patented smoke and particle detection technology which excels at smoke and lithium-ion battery off-gas detection.
For example, an extract of Annex C Fire-Fighting Considerations (Operations) in NFPA 855 states the following in C.5.1 Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) Batteries: Water is considered the preferred agent for suppressing lithium-ion battery fires.
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.
The importance of Li-ion battery storage systems has increased dramatically in recent years. Since the market introduction of Lithium-ion batteries, they have been used in a wide variety of applications including stationary energy storage in smart grids. However, this type of battery can present a considerable fire hazard.
