Recently, the 6th Energy Storage Safety Symposium 2026 was grandly held in Hefei, bringing together industry experts, energy storage integrators, power plant operators, and professionals involved in overseas projects to jointly explore pathways for breaking the deadlock in energy storage safety. Nanjing Heben was invited to attend and delivered a presentation. “Fire Safety Technologies and Applications for the Entire Lifecycle of Lithium-Ion Battery Energy Storage” Keynote address: Tackling the persistent challenge of frequent fires in the lithium‑ion energy storage industry, presenting an integrated safety‑management system that spans the entire lifecycle and is tailored to projects worldwide.

Multi-dimensional analysis of the industry’s core security pain points

As the global energy storage industry rapidly expands, the large-scale deployment of energy storage systems has introduced new safety challenges. From cell manufacturing and system integration to equipment transportation, power‑station operation, and end‑of‑life recycling, energy‑storage safety risks permeate the entire lifecycle.

Lithium battery thermal runaway It is characterized by sudden onset, rapid spread, high temperature and pressure, the release of toxic fumes, and a high risk of reignition. Traditional safety‑protection measures, in certain scenarios, suffer from delayed early warning and response, as well as inadequate risk identification; moreover, monitoring blind spots and challenges in safety management persist during both transportation and operational phases.

Nanjing and Ben, drawing on recent domestic and international cases of energy‑storage fires, have conducted an in-depth analysis of the causes of such incidents and the evolution of associated risks. Mr. Li Changxi stated that energy‑storage safety risks typically span multiple stages, necessitating the establishment of a more robust protective framework—covering early risk identification, process control, and incident response. We need to pay even closer attention to the underlying causes behind accidents. Starting from the very foundation of security system development, we will strengthen efforts to refine emergency response mechanisms, enhance fire‑spread protection, and conduct research on risk‑mitigation strategies. Enhancing the overall safety level of energy storage systems—this concept resonated with many colleagues at the event.

In response to this trend, Nanjing and Ben have continuously advanced the evolution of energy‑storage safety‑protection concepts. By leveraging ultra‑early risk detection, precise safety controls, and a suite of fire‑protection systems tailored to mainstream markets in Europe, the United States, Australia, and beyond, they have shifted from passive response to proactive prevention, ensuring the stable and reliable operation of energy‑storage systems worldwide.

 

Addressing the full‑range needs of energy storage, we deliver a one‑stop fire safety solution.

1. Full Lifecycle Risk Limitation Strategy

In response to the safety requirements at different stages of energy storage system applications, Nanjing and our company have focused on “ Earlier warnings, faster responses, and more comprehensive protection. The goal is to develop a one-stop energy storage fire safety solution that spans the pack level, module level, and station level.

The plan centers on full‑life‑cycle risk management and, in alignment with domestic and international regulations and standards, leverages… Fire isolation, very early warning, explosion‑proof pressure relief, emergency ventilation, safe transportation management, and a standardized emergency response system. These measures comprehensively enhance the safety assurance capabilities of energy storage systems. Building on this foundation, we further align with domestic and international standards such as NFPA 855, UL 9540A, and IMDG, establishing a hierarchical protection‑design framework to sever thermal runaway propagation pathways at their source.

2. In-house developed core product for ultra-early warning

In the realm of early risk perception, Nanjing and Ben’s NOVAPACK composite pyrolysis particle detection technology, Through three-in-one synchronous monitoring Pyrolytic nanoparticles Hydrogen and carbon monoxide can detect early warning signs of uncontrolled thermal runaway, well ahead of conventional detection methods. A single device can monitor 8 or 16 battery packs, accurately pinpoint fault locations, and establish a fully automated fire‑suppression closed loop encompassing detection, alarm, and extinguishing.

3. Complete Energy Storage Fire Protection Hardware Matrix

PACK, cabin-level aerosol fire suppression, millisecond-level Explosion venting panel Explosion-proof ventilation system, 3000V DC arc fault detector, and cell‑film expansion force sensor—these multi‑dimensional technologies enable early detection of potential risks such as internal short circuits, lithium plating, and cell swelling.

4. CFD Digital Simulation Differentiation Capability

In the face of varying application environments and safety requirements for different energy storage projects, Nanjing and Ben rely on CFD fluid simulation technology. , it conducts simulation analyses of key factors such as internal pressure changes within the container and flue gas dispersion, providing a scientific basis for designing fire separation distances, optimizing venting and explosion relief measures, and configuring ventilation systems.

Leveraging digital simulation capabilities, Nanjing Heben is able to further enhance the fire safety design of energy storage projects, providing technical support for the safe construction and compliant deployment of projects both domestically and internationally.

5. Dedicated Safety Plan for the Transportation of Energy Storage Containers

In response to the unique safety challenges encountered during the maritime and land transportation of energy storage containers, Nanjing Heben has developed a dedicated safety management plan tailored to real-world application scenarios.

 

Pioneering the energy storage fire‑protection sector, we join forces with the industry to build a safer future.

Nanjing and Benji are dedicated to the research, development, and application of energy‑storage fire‑safety technologies. Focusing on the safety requirements of lithium‑ion energy‑storage systems, they continuously refine a comprehensive, end-to-end safety framework that encompasses detection, early warning, fire suppression, explosion mitigation, and protective measures.

Through its one-stop energy storage fire‑safety solutions, Nanjing Heben is committed to helping customers address the challenges of energy‑storage projects—including thermal runaway early warning, fire protection, explosion‑proof control, operational safety, and transportation management—thereby providing robust technical support for the safe, efficient, and stable development of the energy‑storage industry.

Looking ahead, Nanjing and Ben will continue to deepen their expertise in the field of energy storage safety, intensify efforts in technological innovation and solution optimization, and work with industry partners to advance energy storage safety standards and foster high-quality industry development.
