Some of these batteries have experienced troubling fires and explosions. There have been two types of explosions; flammable gas explosions due to gases generated in battery thermal runaways, and electrical arc explosions leading to structural failure of battery electrical enclosures.
Familiarity with these unique designs is essential for swift and effective response. Even after extinguishing a lithium-ion battery fire, there is a risk of reignition. Firefighters should implement thorough post-fire assessments and continued monitoring to prevent rekindling, including during post-incident transport and placement.
Because of the nature and complexity of battery fire incidents, it is also critical that fire departments accurately report battery fire incidents. This can enable an added level of investigation, and clarification can facilitate strategies to effectively reduce battery fire incidence.
A battery energy storage system (BESS) is a type of system that uses an arrangement of batteries and other electrical equipment to store electrical energy. BESS have been increasingly used in residential, commercial, industrial, and utility applications for peak shaving or grid support.
For example, in South Korea, which has by far the largest number of energy storage battery installations, there were 23 reported fires between August 2017 and December 2018 according to the Korea Joongang Daily (2019).
The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules. Smaller explosions are often due to energetic arc flashes within modules or rack electrical protection enclosures.
