In October 2017, DHYBRID as the general contractor delivered and installed a turnkey PV hybrid system with a 250 kW lithium-ion battery storage system in Somaliland. The local utility company can now supply 100% of its load with green solar energy during the day and completely shut down the diesel generators. This saves over 100,000 liters of fuel and 230
In 2019, a fire and explosion at an energy storage system in Surprise, AZ, near Phoenix, was triggered by an overheated lithium-ion battery injuring several first responders and resulting in significant damage to the facility and disruption to the surrounding community.
Recommendation: Research and testing on fire suppression and explosion prevention systems for lithium-ion battery ESS should address project sites over an extended period of time.
The deflagrations were mitigated with an engineering deflagration protection system designed as per the NFPA 68 Standard on Explosion Protection by Deflagration Venting. From these test findings, the FSRI developed two tactical considerations for responding to and mitigating ESS hazards. Thermal imaging is inadequate for ESS fire assessment.
FSRI has an online training module on fire service considerations with Li-ion battery ESS. Contributing Factor: Remote gas monitoring can warn first responders about the presence of flammable gas. Without sensors, HAZMAT teams cannot monitor toxic gas concentrations or other conditions inside the ESS from a physically secure location.
