Battery Energy Storage System Incidents 1 Introduction This document provides guidance to first responders for incidents involving energy storage systems (ESS). The guidance is specific to ESS with lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, but some elements may apply to other technologies also. Hazards addressed include fire, explosion, arc flash, shock
Over a recent 18-month period ending in early 2020, over two dozen large-scale battery energy storage sites around the world had experienced failures that resulted in destructive fires. In total, more than 180 MWh were involved in the fires.
The number of fire and explosion accidents in energy storage stations in South Korea is the most prominent, which may be related to the mainstream application of ternary lithium-ion batteries.
Large lithium ion battery systems such as BESSs and electric vehicles (EVs) pose unique fire and explosion hazards. When a lithium ion battery experiences thermal runaway failure, a series of self-rein-forcing chemical reactions inside the lithium ion cell produce heat and a mixture of flammable and toxic gases, called battery vent gas.

Here, experimental and numerical studies on the gas explosion hazards of container type lithium-ion battery energy storage station are carried out. In the experiment, the LiFePO 4 battery module of 8.8kWh was overcharged to thermal runaway in a real energy storage container, and the combustible gases were ignited to trigger an explosion.
And the fire and explosion of energy storage stations have certain characteristics, mainly including: the types of accident batteries are mostly ternary lithium-ion batteries, and most of them occur during charging and rest periods.
The energy storage system was installed and put into operation in 2018, with a photovoltaic power generation capacity of 3.4MW and a storage capacity of 10MWh. The explosion destroyed 0.5MW of energy storage batteries. It is understood that the lithium-ion battery cell supplier of the energy storage station is LG New Energy.
The energy storage power station started construction in June 2016 and was officially put into operation in March 2017, with a scale of 2 MW/2 MWh. There are a total of 27 battery racks in the energy storage container, with 14 lithium-ion battery modules stacked in each rack and 28 lithium-ion batteries placed in each module.
Unfortunately, a small but significant fraction of these systems has experienced field failures resulting in both fires and explosions. A comprehensive review of these issues has been published in the EPRI Battery Storage Fire Safety Roadmap (report 3002022540 ), highlighting the need for specific eforts around explosion hazard mitigation.
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.
