Abstract
Explosion hazards can develop when gases evolved during lithium-ion battery energy system thermal runaways accumulate within the confined space of an energy storage system installation. Tests were conducted at the cell, module, unit, and installation scale to characterize these hazards. Three installation level tests show that explosion scenarios can occur as prompt ignitions within seconds of cell gas venting or delayed ignitions where gases ignite after a longer duration of accumulation, especially when fire protection systems are actuated. Deflagration venting and exhaust ventilation system design approaches that can be implemented at the installation level are evaluated using a dataset generated from cell, module, and unit level tests. Data from the installation level tests demonstrate the use and effectiveness of deflagration venting for containerized li-ion battery energy storage systems.
