The ESS/BESS Challenge
Rapid deployment is outpacing standardized fire protection assumptions.
ESS/BESS Is different.
Fire Risks Unique to ESS & BESS.
Thermal Runaway
Thermal runaway occurs when one cell begins to heat excessively, leading to a chain reaction that can cause further overheating in adjacent cells.
Off-Gassing
Flammable vapors can build up in a confined space, when they come into contact with an ignition source and oxygen, they create a hazardous explosive situation.
Unmanned Environment
Flammable vapors can build up in a confined space, when they come into contact with an ignition source and oxygen, they create a hazardous explosive situation.
It's important to get it right.
ESS Fire Protection cannot rely on a single mechanism or assumption.
Project Delays
Resubmitting the design leads to project delays.
Retrofits
Modifying systems after they have been commissioned leads to expensive retrofits.
System Downtime
Systems will go offline, sometimes they are a total loss.
Insurance Exposure
Coverage denial, increased premiums or additional mandates.
Our Role
ESS/BESS fire protection is not a system decision, it is an engineering problem.
An Engineered Approach to ESS
SEVO Systems designs fire protection systems specifically for ESS and BESS. Our trusted solutions empower fire protection experts and system integrators, enhancing safety and reliability in energy storage applications. Partner with us to elevate your safety standards.
Our Approach
Our engineered systems are designed to mitigate thermal runaway extending beyond just fire prevention. Our configurable solutions accommodate containerized, and room-based ESS designs.
Every ESS Project presents a different risk profile.
Appropriate system configuration depends on battery type, enclosure design and jurisdictional requirements. Let us help you navigate fire protection systems for ESS/BESS.
Discuss ESS/BESS With Us.
Our team is here to assist you in making optimal fire protection decisions, whether you're creating a new ESS/BESS platform or modifying an existing one.
