Modelling approaches for detecting and preventing thermal runaway risk in lithium-ion battery energy storage systems
This article examines modelling approaches, safety standards (particularly NFPA 855), and analytics used to detect and prevent thermal runaway risk in lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). It covers how battery modelling can complement physical testing and hazard mitigation analysis (HMA) to ensure installations meet safety requirements, limit fire propagation, mitigate explosion hazards, and manage flammable and toxic gas risks.
Key quotes
While not explicitly required, battery modelling can be used alongside physical testing and hazard mitigation analysis (HMA) to prove that the installation will meet safety requirements.
HMA is required for the standard to limit fire propagation, mitigate explosion hazards, and ensure flammable and toxic gases do not pose a threat
