Research on accurate fire detection & early warning model for lithium-ion battery packs

Abstract

To improve the fire detection & early warning accuracy for lithium-ion battery packs and reduce false alarms and missing reports, the fire occurrence mechanism and cause factors of lithium-ion battery packs were analyzed, the calculation method of these characteristic parameters and basic judgment conditions of thermal runaway occurrence were explored, and then a thermal runaway-induced fire spread model of lithium-ion battery packs was established. Next, the scheme and model for accurate detection and early warning of lithium-ion battery pack fire was designed. Furthermore, an accurate fire detection & early warning model of “characteristic parameter sorting and screening + comprehensive conditional judgment + grading implementation” was proposed. Experimental results demonstrate that the accurate fire detection & early warning model for lithium-ion battery packs built in this study would be feasible.
