Determining the need for these fire safety features starts with fire testing of the battery ESS. Most battery ESS units are now required by NFPA 855 and model fire codes to be listed to UL 9540, Energy Storage Systems and Equipment[5]. While there is an allowance in NFPA 855 for a field evaluation to be performed for non-listed ESS, UL

Conclusions. Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. 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.

The Inside Look: What You need to know about Battery Energy Storage Fire Protection. Feb. 14, 2022. BESSs produce a large amount of energy in a small area. This design, while efficient, creates a risk that must be managed. Big energy + small space = potential for problems. Louise Dillon, Fireaway Inc.

Thermal energy storage in fire protection is a relatively new research direction with a limited number of applications, such as the prevention of thermal runaway in Li-ion batteries. Thermal energy storage limits the temperature increase which occurs during the fire inception period. This has the potential to reduce the exposure of materials to
