This roadmap provides necessary information to support owners, opera-tors, and developers of energy storage in proactively designing, building, operating, and maintaining these systems to minimize fire risk and ensure the safety of the public, operators, and environment.
The annual probability of fire in battery storage systems is 0.0049%, or 50 times lower than that of a typical house fire.
The results show that the cloud model can be used for fire risk assessment in energy storage power stations. Fuzzy variables can be accurately and clearly represented and corresponded to different safety levels.

Some scholars have compared different types of fire extinguishing agents, hoping to select those with good fire extinguishing effects and economic rationality for fire suppression in energy storage power stations.
However, accidents such as fires and explosions of energy storage power stations not only bring great economic losses to enterprises, but also have great impact on the development of the entire industry. Therefore, the safety of energy storage power stations cannot be ignored.
Taking effective fire-fighting measures to break through the safety problem of lithium-ion battery energy storage is one of the key factors for the sustainable and long-term development of its technical route.
Fire suppression strategies of battery energy storage systems In the BESC systems, a large amount of flammable gas and electrolyte are released and ignited after safety venting, which could cause a large-scale fire accident.
Since a large amount of energy is stored in the energy storage station in the form of chemical energy, once this energy is released in the form of heat and fire, it will cause serious damage. For example, in 2024, three LFP battery energy storage station fire accidents occurred in Germany within three months .
With the advantages of high energy density, short response time and low economic cost, utility-scale lithium-ion battery energy storage systems are built and installed around the world. However, due to the thermal runaway characteristics of lithium-ion batteries, much more attention is attracted to the fire safety of battery energy storage systems.
In recent years, safety issues such as thermal runaway of lithium batteries, fires, and explosions in energy storage power stations have occurred frequently, posing a huge threat to life and property and sounding the alarm for the sustainable development of the energy storage industry.
High-quality fire extinguishing agents and effective fire extinguishing strategies are the main means and necessary measures to suppress disasters in the design of battery energy storage stations . Traditional fire extinguishing methods include isolation, asphyxiation, cooling, and chemical suppression .
Fire accidents in battery energy storage stations have also gradually increased, and the safety of energy storage has received more and more attention. This paper reviews the research progress on fire behavior and fire prevention strategies of LFP batteries for energy storage at the battery, pack and container levels.
