Propagation of lithium-ion fires is the real threat

Live fire tests aim to demonstrate physical containment technology. From pv magazine USA If lithium-ion battery fires are near impossible to completely prevent, then containing thermal runaway events is crucial. Battery energy storage system (BESS) supplier Viridi recently hosted a live fire demonstration to show how properly engineered cell modules can prevent flame propagation. "The real problem is not the thermal runaway event," Viridi CEO Jon Williams told pv magazine USA. "It's the propagation of a fire from one cell to another. That's where you get catastrophe. " During the live demonstration ...
