How to mitigate thermal runaway in large battery storage?
Recent incidents involving rapid explosions in grid-scale battery storage highlight the critical need for early warning systems. What specific multi-sensor configurations and placement strategies have proven most effective in your experience to detect thermal runaway before it escalates?

To keep the battery discussion in one place, we suggest using this thread for mitigation (ventilation, suppression, explosion venting) and https://atexmarket.com/t/3 for detection and alarm levels.
Points we would like to hear experience on:
- Deflagration venting or explosion prevention ventilation in containerised BESS: which approach did your project choose and why?
- Has anyone used gas detection to trigger ventilation automatically, and how was the system tested?
- Water-based suppression versus gaseous agents for lithium-ion: what did your fire consultant recommend?
