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.
The Science of Fire and Explosion Hazards from Lithium-Ion Batteries sheds light on lithium-ion battery construction, the basics of thermal runaway, and potential fire and explosion hazards.
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.
It should be noted that Li-ion batteries are composed of a variety of materials, and there are no direct tools available for modeling battery explosions. Hence, it is necessary to rely on key parameters that can effectively characterize this process, such as explosion equivalent.
