This work developed a performance-based methodology to design a mechanical exhaust ventilation system for explosion prevention in Li-Ion-based stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Note that the work presented here did not consider the presence of a clean agent or an aerosol-based suppression system that may impact the performance of the detection system and the ventilation system. In general, a CFD-based methodology can be effectively used with the performance-based design of an explosion prevention system.
Designing BESS Explosion Prevention Systems Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Explosion Simulations CFD methodology can assist with the performance-based design of explosion prevention systems containing exhaust systems.
CFD methodology can assist with the performance-based design of explosion prevention systems containing exhaust systems. CFD is a simulation tool that produces predictions of fluid-flow phenomena based on the laws governing fluid motion (i.e., mass, momentum, and energy).
