Abstract:

Lithium-ion battery energy storage technology is developing rapidly. This development will adjust the Chinese energy consumption structure and increase their renewable energy. Energy storage fire-protection technology is the safety guarantee of electrochemical energy storage technology. To understand the research and development status of energy storage fire-protection technology, the patent data in the field of energy storage fire protection published by the China National Intellectual Property Administration was the object of analysis. This paper explores the domestic development of energy storage fire-protection technology using fire extinguishing agents (A62D), fire-protection devices for energy storage (A62C), and fire-protection strategy and logic method for energy storage (G06K) as the main content. It was analyzed from four aspects: patent year distribution, patent technology distribution, patent region analysis, and main applicants. The results show that the energy storage fire-protection technology and its application follow a rapid growth trend, in which the patent application of the fire-protection devices takes up a large proportion, the research and development of special fire extinguishing agents increases rapidly, and the design of fire-protection strategies and logic methods evolves.Universities and public institutions are the major applicants in northern China; whereas, commercial companies are the major applicants in southern China, which is related to the commercial application level of electrochemical energy storage. The fire-protection technology of energy storage systems still needs to be explored by major research and development units. It can be predicted that the number of fire-protection technology patents for energy storage systems will continue to evolve, and the combination of relevant policies and markets will stimulate the vitality of research and development of the technology.
