The fire incident at the California lithium battery energy storage plant has once again highlighted the safety challenges faced by large-scale energy storage systems. When a battery experiences thermal runaway, it can trigger a chain reaction and release flammable or harmful gases, impacting the surrounding environment and the health of local residents. Through comprehensive thermal management design and robust safety protection measures, the risk of such accidents occurring can be effectively reduced

Thermal runaway is one of the most critical safety issues in lithium battery systems. As energy storage systems continue to expand in scale, California has introduced relevant fire safety regulations, requiring operators to mitigate the risks of fire and thermal runaway propagation through testing verification, thermal management design, and risk control mechanisms
