Fire Safety Requirements for Storing Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion energy storage systems are an important component of renewable energy infrastructure, allowing for the safe and efficient storage of electricity generated by solar and wind power. These systems consist of Li-ion battery cells connected in series or parallel to form modules, which are then assembled into racks. A battery management system (BMS) protects the batteries and monitors their performance, ensuring they operate within recommended conditions and don't pose a safety hazard. Power conditioning systems (PCS) convert stored DC electricity into AC that can be used in buildings, and an energy management system (EMS) controls the PCS and BMS to optimize the performance of the entire system. Overall, Li-ion energy storage systems are a crucial part of the shift towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
