Technical FAQs 4

How can a battery management system prevent a fire?

Using battery management systems (BMS), predictive analytics, and strict quality standards can minimize fire hazards and ensure safe, reliable energy storage. Battery fires in energy storage systems can cause severe infrastructure damage, toxic gas emissions, and rapid fire spread, making early detection and suppression critical.

Are lithium-ion battery energy storage systems fire safe?

With the advantages of high energy density, short response time and low economic cost, utility-scale lithium-ion battery energy storage systems are built and installed around the world. However, due to the thermal runaway characteristics of lithium-ion batteries, much more attention is attracted to the fire safety of battery energy storage systems.

Can a lithium-ion battery energy storage system detect a fire?

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.

Which fire suppression methods are used in enclosed battery storage systems?

Gas and aerosol-based fire suppression methods are widely used in enclosed battery storage systems, where eliminating oxygen or chemically neutralizing flames is a viable strategy. These suppression technologies are particularly effective because they leave no residue, minimizing damage to sensitive electrical components.
