Design of Remote Fire Monitoring System for Unattended Electrochemical Energy Storage Power Station
The centralized fire alarm control system is used to monitor the operation status of fire control system in all stations. When a fire occurs in the energy storage station and the self-starting function of the fire-fighting facilities in the station fails to function, the centralized fire alarm control system can be used for remote start.
Reasons for the cause of the explosion accident of storage energy stations
In this regard, the industry related experts said that the energy storage power station does have the likelihood of explosion. The storage capacity is a bulk energy storage battery. At present, the energy storage battery is multi-lithium-ion battery, its price / performance ratio is more advantageous than other batteries.
