Huawei Timor-Leste Energy Storage Firefighting System

Does Huawei's fire-free energy storage system redefine safety?

Abstract: With the battery pack-level thermal runaway control, Huawei's fire-free energy storage system (ESS) redefines safety. [Shenzhen, China, December 24, 2024] Huawei Digital Power and TÜV Rheinland jointly completed ESS safety tests on Huawei's Smart String & Grid Forming ESS Platform (LUNA2000-4472 series and LUNA2000-215 series).

Why should Timor-Leste invest in solar & storage infrastructure?

José added: “The investment in Timor-Leste’s solar and storage infrastructure is transformative. It will help reduce dependence on fossil fuels while improving grid stability and energy access across the country”. José de Ponte was supported by special counsel Marnie Calli, senior associate Lisa Huynh and solicitor Jeraldine Mow.

Does Huawei ESS delay fire ignition?

The test showed that Huawei’s ESS (container A) delayed fire ignition for seven hours in extreme scenarios, even as the number of thermal runaway cells increased. Such delayed propagation would allow emergency personnel time for early intervention, mitigating risks for personnel and property.

Does Huawei Digital Power's Smart string & grid forming energy storage system pass an ignition test?

Huawei Digital Power’s Smart String & Grid Forming Energy Storage System (ESS) has successfully passed an extreme ignition test in the presence of customers and Norway-headquartered independent assurance and risk management provider DNV.

Does Huawei smart string & grid forming ESS (container a) combustible gases?

However, in Huawei’s Smart String & Grid Forming ESS (container A), thermal runaway was initiated in 12 cells without an incident. The system’s combined defense mechanism—positive pressure oxygen barrier and directional smoke exhaust duct—effectively vented combustible gases, the manufacturer reported.

How many Bess units did Huawei use in a fire test?

In its ignition test, Huawei used four utility-scale BESS units. This was previously done by Sungrow, which in November 2024 conducted a fire test on 20 MWh of BESS. The exercise involved four liquid-cooled 5 MWh Powertitan 2.0 storage systems and came with a price tag of $4.2 million.
