Abstract. Lithium-ion batteries are widely used for renewable energy storage and to deliver mobile power because of their high energy densities and electromotive forces. However, such batteries can catch fire and explode, potentially causing casualties and property damage. Here, we used a cone calorimeter to investigate the fire
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.
Utility-scale lithium-ion energy storage batteries are being installed at an accelerating rate in many parts of the world. Some of these batteries have experienced troubling fires and explosions.
