Sensor tech to detect fire in lithium-ion storage systems
The deflagration-prevention system combines automatically controlled door locks with a smart controller which manages signals from fire safety inputs such as smoke, heat, or gas detectors. It is applicable from 50 kW to multi-megawatt cabinets.A research group from the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has created a sensor system to detect fire risk in lithium-ion storage systems. "The system is designed for lithium-ion storage, as that is the chemistry that presents the greatest risk, and, in particular, for outdoor cabinet-type enclosures where the batteries ...
