There has been a dramatic increase in the use of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the United States. These systems are used in residential, commercial, and utility scale applications. Most of these systems consist of multiple lithium-ion battery cells. A single battery cell (7 x 5 x 2 inches) can store 350 Whr of energy.
1. Introduction Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have raised increasing interest due to their high potential for providing efficient energy storage and environmental sustainability [1].LIBs are currently used not only in portable electronics, such as computers and cell phones [2], but also for electric or hybrid vehicles [3]..
To the best of the authors'' knowledge, there is a lack of studies focusing on system safety/hazard analysis of large-scale EES systems beyond batteries, despite the significant highly localized concentration of energy involved.
A Lithium-Ion battery fire presents multiple hazards including fire damage to buildings and personnel, gas release, chemical damage and reactions, and hazardous material contamination. Containers/ infrastructure for BESS must be clear of vegetation, including grass, for at least ten (10) metres on all sides.
Reports of fire incidents highlight the criticality of battery safety, particularly unpredictable thermal runaways in EVs [17] and grid-scale storage [18, 19]. In recent times, thousands of EVs across major companies were recalled due to safety concerns [ 20 ], incurring costs estimated in the tens of billions to mitigate hazards [ 21 ].
