Fire detection and suppression for BESS in India

Lithium batteries can go into thermal runaway, so every BESS needs early detection and a way to stop a fault spreading. Systems combine off-gas and smoke detection with suppression such as aerosol, clean agent or water mist, plus ventilation to clear flammable gas. The companies below supply these systems in India.

From Ingro · Our own product

Run it all as one plant with Ingro EMS

A fire panel works best when it is wired into the rest of the site. Ingro EMS can take alarm signals from the fire and gas detection system and respond straight away: stop charging, open the battery breaker through the PCS and alert the operator.

Ingro EMS is a made-in-India battery energy management system: one controller on site that runs battery storage, solar, diesel and the grid against your tariff, with a console and reports you can watch on a screen or your phone. It talks to equipment over open protocols such as Modbus TCP/RTU, CAN, IEC 61850 and IEC 60870-5-104, so it is not tied to any one brand on this list.

Questions

Lithium cells in thermal runaway generate their own heat and flammable gases, which can spread from cell to cell. Early off-gas detection and suppression designed for battery fires limit the damage to a single module.
