The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules. Smaller explosions are often due to energetic arc flashes within modules or rack electrical protection enclosures.
Conclusions Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules.
This incident occurred at the Arizona Public Service (APS, 2019) McMicken Energy Storage Unit facility in Surprise, Arizona, 28 miles northwest of Phoenix. As shown in Fig. 3, the facility is adjacent to an APS substation. It is a 2 MW, 2 MWh facility with 27 racks, each containing 392 Li-ion Nickel–Manganese–Cobalt pouch cells (DNV GL, 2020).
The thermal runaway gas explosion scenarios, which can be initiated by various electrical faults, can be either prompt ignitions soon after a large flammable gas mixture is formed, or delayed ignitions associated with late entry of air and/or loss of gaseous fire suppression agent.
A variety of Energy Storage Unit (ESU) sizes have been used to accommodate the varying electrical energy and power capacities required for different applications. Several designs are variations or modifications of standard ISO freight containers, with nominal dimensions of 2.4 m × 2.4 m x 6 m, and 2.4 m × 2.4 m x 12 m.
Interactions with power supply and discharge systems occur via an external Power Conversion System and Energy Management System as shown in Fig. 1. Battery Energy Storage Units have doors for operating and maintenance personnel and for installation and replacement of equipment.
