Fire protection for lithium-ion battery systems

As overall demand for energy increases in our modern world – so does the use of renewable sources like wind and solar. As the use of these variable sources of energy grows – so does the use of energy storage systems. Energy storage systems are also found in standby power applications (UPS) as well as electrical load balancing to stabilize supply and demand fluctuations on the Grid. Today, lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) have proven to be the most effective type, and as a result, demand for such systems has grown fast and continues to rapidly increase.
