BESS Explosions: Congestion and Flame Acceleration

Описание: Risk management for Battery and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): https://www.bakerrisk.com/services/lo....

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become increasingly popular and more powerful. The growth of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) solutions has also soared, but research into full scale hazards is scarce.

In the summer of 2023, BakerRisk funded an internal research program to investigate the explosion risks associated with Li-ion batteries and BESS. The effects of concentration, congestion, and venting on confined deflagrations were explored using conventional shipping containers as a stand-in for a purpose built BESS enclosures.

This video is the 3rd in our 4-part series, “BakerRisk testing: BESS explosion and fire hazards”. In this video Aníbal Morones discusses the purpose of these tests; specifically, the impact of congestion on BESS deflagrations and flame acceleration.
