How to Dissolve Safety Anxiety in Energy Storage Industry

With the continuous increase in the installed scale of energy storage systems, energy storage security has become a core issue for the healthy development of the industry. Strict combustion testing is becoming one of the important ways for leading companies to verify product safety performance. It is not only an important starting point to enhance market competitive advantage, but also like a "cardiotonic" injected into the safe and healthy development of the industry. Provide strong support.

In recent years, frequent energy storage safety accidents have become a "roadblock" on the road of industry development ". On January 16, local time, a fire broke out at the Moss Landing energy storage power plant in California, causing thousands of people to be evacuated. The plant, located about 124 kilometers south of San Francisco, contains tens of thousands of lithium batteries. In February, the power station caught fire again, burning for more than 8 hours. On March 29, a fire broke out at the Cirencester Hybrid Solar Power Plant in Gloucestershire, UK. The power station consists of 23MWP photovoltaic power generation and 51MWh lithium battery energy storage power station. The fire burned two energy storage containers......

According to incomplete statistics, from January to May 2025 alone, there will be 18 new energy storage-related safety accidents worldwide, involving many countries and regions. In the face of increasingly stringent energy storage safety requirements, many domestic companies have taken active actions to carry out rigorous combustion tests to test the safety of energy storage systems. The internal structure of the energy storage system is complex, and any problem may cause a safety accident.

In addition to the passive fire protection design of the energy storage system itself, the energy storage fire protection facilities, as the key line of defense, also play a pivotal role. It is in recognition of the far-reaching impact of energy storage fire protection on the development of energy storage that the national level has issued the Safety Regulations for Electrochemical Energy Storage Power Stations (GB/T 42288-2022). It stipulates that the battery room/compartment shall be provided with an automatic fire extinguishing system, and the minimum protection unit of the lithium-ion battery room/compartment automatic fire extinguishing system should be a battery module, each battery module can be equipped with a separate fire extinguishing medium nozzle or fire detection tube. The automatic fire extinguishing system shall have the functions of remote automatic start and emergency manual start, and the design parameters such as spray intensity and nozzle arrangement spacing of the automatic fire extinguishing system shall comply with the relevant provisions of the GB51048. The electrochemical energy storage power station shall be equipped with an automatic fire alarm system. The design of the automatic fire alarm system shall comply with the relevant provisions of the GB50116, and the fire alarm controller shall comply with the provisions of GB4717. Fire detectors such as combustible gas detector, temperature detector and smoke detector shall be set in the battery room/cabin, and each battery module can be equipped with a separate detector.

As the last link in the safety chain of the energy storage industry, energy storage fire protection is the key guarantee for the healthy and sustainable development of the industry. Relying on the rich project experience accumulated in the field of energy storage and fire protection, Shengsida has always been committed to building fire barriers for all kinds of energy storage facilities, guarding the safe operation of each station and helping the green transformation of energy. In the future, we will continue to cultivate energy storage fire protection solutions to build a solid foundation for the high-quality development of the energy storage industry.
