Lilongwe, Malawi | 25 th November 2024 ― The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) and the Government of Malawi have officially launched the construction of a 20 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Kanengo substation in Malawi's capital city, Lilongwe. This is GEAPP's first BESS project in Africa.
The fire codes (IFC 2021 Chapter 1207, NFPA 855 ed. 2023) contain a requirement to include explosion protection for installed systems exceeding certain energy capacity thresholds.
Unfortunately, a small but significant fraction of these systems has experienced field failures resulting in both fires and explosions. A comprehensive review of these issues has been published in the EPRI Battery Storage Fire Safety Roadmap (report 3002022540 ), highlighting the need for specific eforts around explosion hazard mitigation.
Although Passive Protection (explosion venting) is the most common protection method, Active Explosion Protection Systems are available which incorporate detection, control and monitoring, and suppression to instantaneously quench the incipient explosion before it reaches a dangerous state.
NFPA 855 [*footnote 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 [*footnote 2] or deflagration venting in accordance with NFPA 68 [*footnote 3].
The leading cause of fire and explosion inside a BESS enclosures is the release and ignition of combustible vapors from an overheating battery.
Additionally, gas explosions require either confinement or congestion to create an overpressure. Confinement is provided by being located inside an enclosure. Congestion occurs when obstacles – such as pipes, ducts, conduit, and structural members – serve to accelerate the flame, leading to possible confinement efects.
Some useful definitions follow: Explosion: Sudden violent release of energy usually accompanied by the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pres-sure gas. Types include Overpressure: Transient air pressure, such as the shock wave from an explosion, which is greater than the surrounding atmospheric pressure.
