MCEE Solutions unveils the world's first lithium-ion BESS fire extinguishing system - LBF certified by DEKRA

 

Last week, MCEE completed a large-scale live fire test, demonstrating the proven effectiveness of its innovative fire extinguishing system — LBF, for lithium-ion battery energy storage system (LIB ESS) applications. The test was conducted with the support of CATL and witnessed by independent third-party experts from DEKRA and UL Solutions. 

During testing, the LBF system was successfully activated and effectively prevented the propagation of thermal runaway from the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) energy storage. This intervention also prevented thermal runaway from spreading to the adjacent battery pack, which contains 104 LPF battery cells rated at 530 Ah each. Only the overcharged pack was affected, proving the system can greatly reduce risks to both BESS assets and the environment. Independent oversight from DEKRA and UL Solutions ensured credibility and transparency of the results.

“This achievement represents a breakthrough in fire protection for lithium-ion energy storage,” said Mr. Luo, CATL.
