Energy Storage System Safety: Thermal Runaway and Explosion Venting Design

Energy Storage System Safety: Thermal Runaway and Explosion Relief Design

With the vigorous development of the new energy industry, energy storage systems, especially lithium-ion battery energy storage systems, are being applied more and more widely. However, the country has long lacked clear safety standards and technical guidance, which has created hidden dangers for the safe operation of energy storage systems.

Thermal runaway risks must not be ignored. During operation of lithium battery energy storage systems, once thermal runaway occurs, it is highly likely to cause fires or even explosions, resulting in serious casualties and property losses. A number of safety incidents at energy storage power stations domestically and abroad in recent years have sounded the alarm. To ensure the safety of energy storage systems, fire and explosion protection design is of paramount importance, and explosion relief design is one of the key measures. By promptly releasing the high-temperature, high-pressure gases generated by thermal runaway, pressure accumulation can be effectively prevented and the risk of explosion minimized.

International standards for protection NFPA 855, NFPA 68. Shanghai Tengxi Architecture has always focused on energy storage system safety. Relying on international standards such as UL 9540 / UL 9540A, we provide customers with professional services for thermal runaway explosion relief assessment and venting area calculation for energy storage systems.

Comprehensive consideration. In the design process, we fully consider explosion characteristic parameters, equipment parameters, pressure-relief device parameters and other factors, and optimize according to actual conditions to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of the venting system.

Joining hands to build a safety defense. The safety of energy storage systems affects countless households and is crucial to the healthy development of the whole industry. Shanghai Tengxi Architecture is willing to work together with all sectors to promote the construction of energy storage system safety and contribute to the rise of China's new energy industry!
