Abstract
- China Power Grid is actively building a new energy-based ultra-high voltage grid system. Therefore, the researches on fire safety of power grid are of great importance. This paper firstly investigates the fire accident characteristics in the substation system. With the focuses on the transformer oil fires, the early detection and early warning, modification, fire monitoring and extinguishing systems of transformer oil are reviewed. It is found that the researches on flowing and jet fires should be reinforced while modified oil and pyrolysis gas detection can be applied for reducing the fire probability. Secondly, the fire risks and characteristics of cables are summarized for the transmission and distribution lines, and the methods of early warning, fire prevention and rescue are analyzed. For the wildfire threatening the transmission and distribution cables, the characteristics of wildfire and corresponding firefighting methods are reviewed. The water mist and liquid nitrogen are identified as the most effective ways of extinguishing cable fires and advanced fire detection and long-range drone fire extinguishing technologies should be improved for wildfires. Finally, the thermal runaway mechanism and fire characteristics of LIB in the energy storage system are summarized, and the difficulties in fire extinguishing are discussed. The application of the existing fire detection system in the field of LIB is proposed, and the early warning indicators for intelligent fire protection are introduced. In the future, the intelligent fire protection systems will improve the safety of energy storage systems, and efficient test platforms and reliable test standards will continue to be demanded to reduce the likelihood of thermal runaway and fire severity.
