Can large-scale energy storage systems based on lithium-ion batteries cause gas explosions?
Abstract Large-scale Energy Storage Systems (ESS) based on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are expanding rapidly across various regions worldwide. The accumulation of vented gases during LIBs thermal runaway in the confined space of ESS container can potentially lead to gas explosions, ignited by various electrical faults.
Why are explosion hazards a concern for ESS batteries?
For grid-scale and residential applications of ESS, explosion hazards are a significant concern due to the propensity of lithium-ion batteries to undergo thermal runaway, which causes a release of flammable gases composed of hydrogen, hydrocarbons (e.g. methane, ethylene, etc.), carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide.
Can battery energy storage cabinets cause a gas explosion?
As a result, any cabinet within the container can become an ignition source for the gas explosion event, especially the battery energy storage cabinets. Several studies , , have demonstrated that the ignition location has a significant impact on the explosion venting in industrial equipment.
How to prevent a combustible gas explosion in an ESS container?
Therefore, it is important to take some targeted measures to prevent the concentration of combustible gas in the ESS container from increasing to the optimal stoichiometric gas concentration, which can effectively reduce the severity of the ESS container gas explosion. 3.3.

What is an energy storage reference fire hazard mitigation analysis (HMA)?
EPRI has pub-lished the Energy Storage Integration Council (ESIC) Energy Storage Reference Fire Hazard Mitigation Analysis (3002017136 ) docu-ment, which provides some guidance on HMAs. An HMA helps to determine if safety systems are sufficient to prevent or mitigate an explosion.
Does CFD model predict maximum explosion pressure of high LBV libs gas?
As shown in Fig. 4(b), the error rate in the prediction of maximum explosion pressure (MP) of high LBV LIBs gas by the CFD model fluctuated between 0.2% and 8% compared to the experiments, which is an acceptable level.
