6 FAQs about [Analysis of the explosion at a Mexican energy storage station]

Are lithium-ion battery energy storage stations prone to gas explosions?

Here, experimental and numerical studies on the gas explosion hazards of container type lithium-ion battery energy storage station are carried out. In the experiment, the LiFePO 4 battery module of 8.8kWh was overcharged to thermal runaway in a real energy storage container, and the combustible gases were ignited to trigger an explosion.

What happened at a gas plant near the US-Mexico border?

The major fire and explosion occurred at a gas plant near the city of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, which is located very near the US-Mexico border. The incident is regarded as one of the worst industrial accidents in Mexico’s history, and left catastrophic damages and thirty-one fatalities.

What causes large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fires?

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.

What happened at a Reynosa gas plant?

Review of the 2012 Reynosa Gas Plant Explosion On September 18, 2012, a major fire and explosion ripped through a gas plant in Reynosa, Mexico resulting in 31 fatalities and many injuries. The incident was caught on Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and has been viewed millions of times on social media sites such as YouTube.

How is combustion rate distributed in energy storage container during explosion?

Variation process of combustion rate in energy storage container during explosion. Due to the numerous battery modules installed in the container, the flame was limited in the middle aisle and on the top of the container. Fig. 7 a showed the combustion rate distribution at 0.24 second.

Why is a delayed explosion battery ESS incident important?

One delayed explosion battery ESS incident is particularly noteworthy because the severe firefighter injuries and unusual circumstances in this incident were widely reported (Renewable Energy World, 2019).
