Effects of explosive power and self mass on venting
Vent Panel can alleviate the explosion hazard of lithium energy storage station. Venting efficiency decreases with higher explosive power and larger panel mass. Exist a
The numerical study on gas explosion of energy storage station are carried out. Lithium-ion battery is widely used in the field of energy storage currently. However, the combustible gases produced by the batteries during thermal runaway process may lead to explosions in energy storage station.
A test system utilizing hydrogen as the explosion source is constructed, and the opening process is recorded using high-speed cameras. The conclusions are as follows: The venting efficiency of explosion vent panels varies under different explosion intensities. With increasing explosion intensity, the venting efficiency shows a decreasing trend.
Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in the field of energy storage. However, the combustible gases generated during thermal runaway events of batteries may lead to explosion. The latest NFPA 855–2023 requires that lithium-ion energy storage stations (Li-BESS) larger than 20 kWh must install explosion protection devices.
To investigate the effect of explosion power and mass on Li-BESS vent panels, the experiment tested the venting efficiency of standard vent panel at four different hydrogen concentrations. Then, four different unit area mass vent devices were tested under 19 % hydrogen concentration. 4.1. Effect of explosion power
With the increasing utilization of explosion vent panels for gas explosion protection, relevant research has begun to emerge. Bauwens conducted experiments on venting hydrogen concentrations ranging from 12 % to 19 % in a rectangular space, analyzing the relationship between venting area and reduced explosion overpressure .
At the end of the explosion, the highest temperature inside the container of the explosion can exceed 2000K. The area of high-temperature at 343K and above is wider at the low altitude layer of 0.4m. The duration of overpressure is only about 1 second.
