A review of fire mitigation methods for li-ion battery energy storage system

Lithium-ion battery (LIB) carries an inherent risk of thermal runaway (TR), which may result in off-gassing (flammable, toxic, or explosive), fires, and explosion. This article focuses on various fire protection approaches to mitigate LIB fires in a battery storage energy system (BESS). As BESS has its own unique battery chemistry, with different arrangements of battery modules and facility-specific emergency response strategies, a case-by-case approach is vital to design fire protection for large-scale LIB-based BESS. This third article in a six-part series is a review of fire mitigation methods for Li-ion BESS.
