Although Passive Protection (explosion venting) is the most common protection method, Active Explosion Protection Systems are available which incorporate detection, control and monitoring, and suppression to instantaneously quench the incipient explosion before it reaches a dangerous state.
NFPA 484 Standard for Combustible Metals, NFPA 704 Standard System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response, Canadian Electrical Code’s CSA C22.2 No. 286, and UL 1004-4 Standard for Electric Generators were added as reference standards related to thermal ESS.
By incorporating advanced safety features, we can significantly reduce the risk of fire and explosion incidents. One of the most critical components in BESS safety is the Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS continuously monitors and controls various parameters such as cell voltage, temperature, and state of charge.
Explosions represent the greatest danger to first responders in an ESS incident. As was stated in Section 3.3, NFPA 855 requires either explosion prevention (NFPA 69) or deflagra-tion venting (NFPA 68). There is increasing consensus that designs relying only on deflagration venting can present serious risk to personnel.
The leading cause of fire and explosion inside a BESS enclosures is the release and ignition of combustible vapors from an overheating battery.
