Samsung SDI Co. is a Korean multinational technology corporation. Samsung SDI operates through its Chemical, Electronic Materials and Energy segments while it thrives as one of the world’s largest manufacturer of lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries. Samsung SDI’s Energy Storage Systems use differentiated design technology and innovate lithium-ion batteries for cutting-edge electric vehicles such as the BMW i3. Samsung SDI is listed in Forbes Global 2000 – World’s Biggest Public Companies.
Risks & Consequences
Samsung SDI’s ESS solutions, using Li-ion batteries, offer on demand power management, power dispatch and renewable energy smoothing for various applications including commercial and utility organizations. Li-ion battery technology, despite being constantly improved, still poses a significant fire hazard. A single defective cell, or one that has been subjected to mechanical, electrical or thermal abuse, may lead to an increase in its internal temperature, triggering a thermal runaway. The resulting fire will develop within minutes and can propagate to neighboring cells if not suppressed and controlled on time.
The Task
Design, supply, install and maintain bespoke automatic fire suppression systems for Samsung SDI’s Energy Storage Systems (ESS) enclosed within standardized intermodal containers. The fire protection systems are commissioned to be compact, durable and reliable. They must have a long life span and be highly efficient and effective. These parameters must be met while remaining environmentally friendly. They must also be able to protect against the complex and challenging Li-ion battery fires. The extinguishing system must be designed according to both local and internationally recognized standards and regulations.
