This week South Korea announced the conclusions from their fire investigation committee regarding the root cause for the 23 energy storage system fires that have occurred since August of 2017. The lithium-ion battery fires resulted in system losses valued at over $32M USD.
Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures
of energy stored in failing lithium ion cells that could theoretically cause a damaging explosion with a pressure of P dam: For example, for a cell with r = 0.6 L/Wh, LFL = 9%, UFL = 46%, and X pvd =0.06%, it is possible to calculate the limiting energy storage per volume to reach partial volume deflagration, LFL, and UFL limits:
The liquid-cooled battery energy storage system (LCBESS) has gained significant attention due to its superior thermal management capacity. However, liquid-cooled battery pack (LCBP) usually has a high sealing level above IP65, which can trap flammable and explosive gases from battery thermal runaway and cause explosions.

How to prevent energy storage battery bulge?. ① Control the voltage and current well. As said above, too much voltage or current can easily lead to battery bulging, so control the voltage and current well. ② Try to control the charging time, do not let the charging time is too long, to prevent overcharging. ③ Choose a better charger
As described in Section 2.3, the self-heating heat generation of the battery before TR can be identified based on Eqs. (4)- (7), and the results are displayed in Fig. 6 terestingly

The lithium-ion battery from a Japan Airlines Boeing 787 that caught fire in 2013. Most lithium-ion battery fires and explosions come down to a problem of short circuiting. This happens when the plastic separator fails and lets the anode and cathode touch. And once those two get together, the battery starts to overheat.
The results indicate that the flame propagation will undergo rapid deflagration under certain conditions, which causes a high risk of explosion for the battery pack. Henriksen et al.
