Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage system technology, and in particular to an energy storage system with a water spray device. Background Technology

[0002] Energy storage systems are common in modern electricity systems. Because the energy people need is highly time- and space-dependent, in order to make rational use of energy and improve energy efficiency, a device is needed to collect and store excess energy that is not needed for a period of time, and then extract it for use during peak demand periods, or transport it to areas with energy shortages for use. This method requires a large number of energy storage systems.

[0003] Existing energy storage systems store energy through batteries, but batteries are prone to fire. Therefore, fire suppression is a crucial issue that needs to be considered for energy storage systems. To address this problem, fire suppression systems are typically installed in the energy storage cabinet. However, while existing energy storage cabinets are equipped with water sprinkler systems, these systems lack automatic or manual remote activation capabilities and cannot operate across different systems. Furthermore, energy storage fires are highly dangerous and often involve explosions; therefore, safety must be the primary consideration when determining the activation method.

[0004] Therefore, a safe method of fire extinguishing is urgently needed. Utility Model Content
