2.2 Fire Characteristics of Electrochemical Energy Storage Power Station Electrochemical energy storage power station mainly consists of energy storage unit, power conversion system, battery management system and power grid equipment.
Fire information monitoring At present, most of the energy storage power stations can only collect and display the status information of fire fighting facilities (such as fire detectors, fire extinguishing equipment, etc.) in the station.
The information between the fire control room and each energy storage station can be transmitted by optical cable or wireless communication, and based on the communication protocol DL/T634.5101 and DL/T634.5104,the relevant secondary equipment is deployed in the security II area.
However, a number of fires occurred in recent years have shown that the existing regulations do not show sufficient recogni- tion of the fire risks of energy storage systems and specific fire early warning methods and fire-fighting measures have not yet been developed.
However, with the increase of projects of the electrochemical energy storage power station year by year, some electrochemical energy storage power stations have suffered safety accidents in turn, and the fire danger has emerged gradually.
For the present, most grid-side electrochemical energy storage substations are in unattended state.
