Lithium Battery Failure Need To How To Deal With

There are several key aspects to consider when dealing with lithium battery failures:

1. Understanding the failure mechanism:

 Lithium battery failures can be caused by a variety of factors, including overcharging, overdischarging, short-circuiting, external heating, and mechanical abuse. Understanding these failure mechanisms helps to take appropriate preventive measures and response strategies.

2. Role of Battery Management System (BMS):

 The BMS is an integral part of the lithium battery system, preventing the battery from operating outside its safe operating range and detecting faults through various fault diagnostic methods.

3. Types of faults:

 Lithium battery faults can be categorized into external battery faults (e.g., sensor faults, battery connection and cooling system faults) and internal battery faults (e.g., overcharging, overdischarging, internal and external short circuits, overheating, accelerated degradation, and thermal runaway).

4. Fault diagnosis methods:

 Fault diagnosis methods can be categorized into model-based methods (e.g., parameter estimation, state estimation, parity space, and structural analysis) and non-model-based methods (e.g., signal processing and knowledge-based methods).

5. Safety strategy:

 Preventive, fail-safe, and fire suppression measures can be taken to prevent failures from leading to catastrophic consequences. These strategies include increasing the thermal runaway onset temperature, improving heat dissipation, reducing the energy accumulated during thermal runaway, and adding heat-resistant layers between neighboring cells.

6. Thermal Runaway:

Thermal runaway is an extreme case of lithium battery failure that can be caused by mechanical abuse, electrochemical abuse, and thermal abuse. Understanding the mechanism of thermal runaway and prevention strategies is critical in dealing with lithium battery failures.

7. Fire suppression:

Lithium battery fires appear to be a multi-class fire, including common fires caused by plastics (e.g., burning polyolefin diaphragms), fires caused by liquid electrolytes and flammable gases, and fires caused by energized electrical components. Therefore, appropriate extinguishing agents and cooling methods are required to suppress lithium battery fires.

8. Failure Mode, Effects and Impact Analysis (FMMEA):

 FMMEA is a systematic approach to identify and prioritize potential failure mechanisms and model all potential failure modes. This methodology helps in assessing the potential risks of the system.

9 Monitoring and Early Warning Systems:

 The establishment of an early warning system is critical for identifying and preventing lithium battery failures. This includes an understanding of battery aging mechanisms, as well as methods for estimating and predicting battery life and state of health (SOH).

10. Future Outlook:

 As research on the safety of lithium batteries continues, future research will focus on improving material safety, developing new safety technologies, and improving fault diagnosis methods.

In summary, dealing with lithium battery failures requires comprehensive consideration of various aspects such as failure mechanisms, the role of BMS, failure types, failure diagnosis methods, safety strategies, thermal runaway, fire suppression, FMMEA, and monitoring and warning systems. Through these measures, the risk of lithium battery failure can be minimized and the safety and reliability of the battery system can be ensured.
