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.
On 7th March 2017, a fire accident occurred in the lithium battery energy storage system of a power station in Shanxi province, China.
There have also been considerable reports of fires and explosions in lithium battery energy storage stations. According to incomplete statistics, there have been over 30 incidents of fire and explosion at energy storage plants worldwide in the past 10 years.
Some of these batteries have experienced troubling fires and explosions. There have been two types of explosions; flammable gas explosions due to gases generated in battery thermal runaways, and electrical arc explosions leading to structural failure of battery electrical enclosures.
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.
Deflagration pressure and gas burning velocity in one important incident. High-voltage arc induced explosion pressures. Utility-scale lithium-ion energy storage batteries are being installed at an accelerating rate in many parts of the world. Some of these batteries have experienced troubling fires and explosions.
