With the large-scale application of electrochemical energy storage
the safety of energy storage prefabricated cabin has become increasingly prominent. The study of the differences in energy storage prefabricated cabin fires under different thermal runaway positions in the energy storage prefabricated cabin can help to design more effective monitoring and fire extinguishing systems
and to improve the safety performance of the energy storage prefabricated cabin. Therefore
it is of great significance to simulate and study the change rule of smoke dispersion and temperature evolution in energy storage prefabricated cabin under different thermal runaway positions. Based on direct numerical simulation and vortex simulation
a numerical model of lithium iron phosphate energy storage prefabricated cabin based on the size of the actual energy storage prefabricated cabin is studied
and the t2 model which is more in line with the development of the fire situation compared with the stable fire model
and investigated the change rule of the smoke dispersion and temperature inside the prefabricated cabin by simulating the fire situation with different thermal runaway positions. The simulation results demonstrate that smoke displays distinct dynamic behaviors depending on the thermal runaway positions within the energy storage prefabricated cabin. When thermal runaway positions occur closer to the bottom
smoke exhibits swifter movement and the cabin fills up in a shorter time. Additionally
as the thermal runaway positions above 1.85 meters approach the top
accompanied by significant temperature fluctuations. Notably
there is a noticeable amplification in the temperature disparity along the horizontal axis of the energy storage prefabricated cabin. Moreover
the design scheme of the fire extinguishing system for a standard energy storage prefabricated cabin with a rated capacity of 1.2 MW·h is analyzed. This perfluorohexane fire extinguishing system
with a sprinkler intensity of 20 L/(min·m2)
a sprinkler angle of 120ånd a particle size of 50 μm
can successfully controls fires and mitigates fire damage. The research results in the article can provide theoretical guidance for the distributed deployment strategy in energy storage prefabricated cabin and fire safety design of monitoring and warning devices.
