Used and damaged batteries should not be kept in rooms or areas larger than 18.6 m 2 . A fire barrier with a fire-resistance rating of 2 h should be utilized to separate rooms or storage spaces from the rest of the building structure . A radiant energy detector and an automatic sprinkler system are required to protect the compartment .
Owners of energy storage need to be sure that they can deploy systems safely. Over a recent 18-month period ending in early 2020, over two dozen large-scale battery energy storage sites around the world had experienced failures that resulted in destructive fires. In total, more than 180 MWh were involved in the fires.
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.
The most practical protection option is usually an external, fixed firefighting system. A fixed firefighting system does not stop an already occurring thermal runaway sequence within a battery module, but it can prevent fire spread from module to module, or from pack to pack, or to adjacent combustibles within the space.
If prefabs and containers are used -with a maximum area of 18.6 m 2 - the compartment must have a radiant energy detector system, a 2 h fire tolerance rating, and an automatic fire suppression system . If metal drums are used, vermiculite can be used to isolate the batteries from each other.
