A week ago, a volunteer fire brigade was called to a “suspicious” fire in the basement of a house in Werne, a town in Germany. According to reports, the fire was caused by an electrical fault with a photovoltaic home storage system that was in the basement of the building. There was nobody present at the scene.
Some scientists say thermal runaway may have triggered the blast. Around three weeks ago, the explosion of a 30 kWh battery storage system caused a stir in Lauterbach, in the central German state of Hesse. The system owner is an electronics technician specializing in energy and building services, with 20 years of professional experience.
Note that the Stationary Energy Storage Failure Incidents table tracks both utility-scale and C&I system failures. It is instructive to compare the number of failure incidents over time against the deployment of BESS. The graph to the right looks at the failure rate per cumulative deployed capacity, up to 12/31/2023.
