Technical FAQs 4

Can a lithium-ion battery energy storage system detect a fire?

Since December 2019, Siemens has been offering a VdS-certified fire detection concept for stationary lithium-ion battery energy storage systems.* Through Siemens research with multiple lithium-ion battery manufacturers, the FDA unit has proven to detect a pending battery fire event up to 5 times faster than competitive detection technologies.

Why is early detection important for lithium-ion battery energy storage systems?

Early detection allows mitigation steps to be carried out long before a potentially disastrous event, such as lithium-ion battery With 5 times faster detection capability, Siemens fire detection products contribute to stationary lithium-ion battery energy storage systems manageable risk.

Why is fire detection important in battery energy storage?

Fire detection is a critical component of battery energy storage safety, enabling operators to identify potential hazards before they escalate into full-scale emergencies.

Do you need a gas detection system for your battery storage space?

Each battery type presents its own unique gas threats so it’s important to provide the appropriate kind of gas detection for your application. While all battery storage spaces need to be fitted with ventilation, these systems won’t provide you with sufficient protection from gas leaks. +44 (0)161 483 1415
