The article “亚利桑那州的火力储能电池进行审查”(E新利18备用NR 7/8-15p。18)照亮了与储能系统和锂离子电池相关的潜在危害,并准确地指出,该技术“现在使[S]上升了所有新电池类型的98%至99%存储系统。”

这些设备的几乎愚蠢的使用使人们至关重要的是要认识到他们对人和财产的风险。特别是,可能遇到危险品问题,热失控的问题,电池爆炸和重新点燃以及发生混乱的第一响应者可能会发现自己处于危险的情况下。

到那时,令人惊讶的是,这篇文章淡化了4月19日的储能系统(ESS)在亚利桑那州公共服务公司的影响,并指出,八名消防员和一名警察遭受的伤害是“非生命威胁。”在受伤的消防员中,三名需要延长医院住院。最严重的伤害包括一名消防员,他的骨折,颅骨骨折,肺部塌陷,肋骨骨折,胫骨骨折和腓骨以及左腿切下的动脉。”其他人则遭受多次骨折,烧伤和脑震荡。

这篇文章似乎还可以最大程度地减少固有的ESS危害,并指出:“我们随着时间的推移所学习的是,它不一定总是电池问题。”危险在于电池化学。因此,试图将注意力转移到这一方面可能是危险的。

As with so many new and emerging issues, it is important to develop corresponding information to better educate audiences about risks and about measures needed to ensure that systems are designed properly and are safely handled in the event of a fire or other emergency.

国家消防协会将发布NFPA 855, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems,在9月初。它提供了基于储能系统中使用的技术,即安装技术的设置,ESS安装的大小和分离以及所在的火灾抑制和控制系统的要求。

NFPA also has added ESS resources, including online training for the fire service, key research that is educating a broad range of stakeholders and other related content that can be found on our website at nfpa.org/ess.

We appreciate coverage of the incident in Arizona. It is an important way to inform first responders, utilities and design and construction communities about the numerous risk factors and to help ensure that ESS hazards are recognized and minimized moving forward.
