Viridi Lithium-ion Battery Fire Containment System
Sector: Geothermal • Location: Buffalo, New York, United States
Source: PV Magazine USA
Viridi developed a battery energy storage system (BESS) with engineered cell modules designed to prevent flame propagation during thermal runaway events. The system includes thermal isolation and anti-propagation barriers to confine fires to individual cells, preventing spread to adjoining cells. The containment package is made from quarter-inch, grade 50 steel to protect against physical damage a

Description
Description | Viridi developed a battery energy storage system (BESS) with engineered cell modules designed to prevent flame propagation during thermal runaway events. The system includes thermal isolation and anti-propagation barriers to confine fires to individual cells, preventing spread to adjoining cells. The containment package is made from quarter-inch, grade 50 steel to protect against physical damage and includes fluid-based heat sinks and spacers to manage heat, particulates, and concussion waves during thermal events. |
