Around three weeks ago, the explosion of a 30 kWh battery storage system caused a stir in Lauterbach, in the central German state of Hesse. The system owner is an electronics technician specialising in energy and building services, with 20 years of professional experience.
NFPA 855 [1], the Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems, calls for explosion control in the form of either explosion prevention in accordance with NFPA 69 [2] or deflagration venting in accordance with NFPA 68 [3]. Having multiple levels of explosion control inherently makes the installation safer.
Storage system due to quality defects, irregular installation and commissioning processes, unreasonable settings, and inadequate insulation. On 7th March 2017, a fire accident
For context, consider that the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that 402 megawatts of small-scale battery storage and just over one gigawatt of large-scale battery storage were in operation in the United States at the end of 2019. By 2023, however, the EIA forecasts an additional 10 gigawatts of large-scale batteries will
The explosion, as well as a string of similar incidents in South Korea, caused widespread introspection in the budding industry, whose batteries many see as key to the transition to renewable energy. In March
They are intended to function as energy storage and to help "stabilise the grid and prevent outages". The Megapack that caught fire on Tuesday is one of 40 lithium-ion Megapack 2.0 units on-site.
