Abstract

Abstract:

In order to enhance the accident monitoring effect and early warning efficiency of lithium-ion battery energy storage power stations and reduce the probability of fire occurrence, aiming at the problems existing in prefabricated cabin LiFePO₄ (LFP) battery energy storage power stations, such as passive monitoring delay, inaccurate monitoring of a single parameter, and ambiguous classification of disaster risks, an active online multi-source monitoring and hierarchical early warning system for LFP energy storage power stations was designed. Firstly, the thermal runaway and fire occurrence process of the energy storage power station was analyzed. The characteristic index set of each level was constructed, which is specific: internal temperature (single), internal pressure-sound (battery Pack), H₂ and CO concentration (battery cluster), smoke characteristic image (battery chamber), and plan a detailed monitoring implementation path. Then, based on the four-level early warning corresponding to the four levels, formulate the early warning strategy and clarify the early warning process. Experimental results demonstrated that: This monitoring and early warning system can effectively achieve the early warning of LFP energy storage power stations. Under 2C overcharging conditions, it can give an early warning of the thermal runaway of 32 Ah battery cells 38.9 min in advance. The combustion of the 344 Ah battery module was warned 53.2 min in advance under the condition of 0.5C overcharging. This study proves that this system can provide an effective guarantee for the safe operation of energy storage power stations.

Key words: LiFePO₄ (LFP) battery, energy storage power station, multi-source monitoring, hierarchical early warning, thermal runaway, fire
