What is battery fire protection?

Battery Fire Protection allows safe use of battery energy storage systems and industrial power banks wherever they are installed.

Can a Stat-X condensed aerosol fire suppression system be installed on a battery?

Install & Protect This fire test demonstrates a Stat-X condensed aerosol fire suppression system on a li-ion battery module in a battery energy storage system (BESS) application. This video is an overview of our recent energy storage systems test.

What happens if a power generation & energy storage facility fires?

Power generation and energy storage fires can be very costly, potentially resulting in a total write-off of the facility. Fires happen quickly and may spread fast, destroying critical company assets. Passive fire protection may lower risk but ignition sources and fuel supplies remain.

Can a battery energy storage system control electrical fires?

However, these systems may be used in the computer or control rooms of an ESS to control any electrical fires. Thermal runaway in lithium batteries results in an uncontrollable rise in temperature and propagation of extreme fire hazards within a battery energy storage system (BESS).

What is a power generation and energy storage fire?

Power generation and energy storage fires can be very costly, potentially resulting in a total write-off of the facility. Fires happen quickly and may spread fast, destroying critical company assets. Even worse, such fires endanger workers and emergency services.

What are the ESS safety requirements for energy storage systems?

The International Fire Code (IFC) published its most robust ESS safety requirements in the most recent 2021 edition. By far the most dominant battery type installed in an energy storage system is lithium-ion, which brings with it particular fire risks.
