The invention provides an
energy storage system, an
electric ship and a fire extinguishing method. The
energy storage system comprises a box body and a fire extinguishing
system, and a battery bin and an electrical bin which are isolated from each other are arranged in the box body; the fire extinguishing system comprises an exhaust fan, a first
air brake and a second
air brake which are mounted on the box body; when the battery bin is in the first state, the exhaust fan works, the first
air brake and the second air
brake are opened, the first air
brake is matched with the exhaust fan and used for exhausting at least part of gas in the battery bin, and external gas enters the battery bin through the second air
brake. When the battery bin is in the first state, the exhaust fan can work in cooperation with the first air brake,
exhaust gas in the battery bin, accelerate
gas exchange between the battery bin and the outside of the
energy storage system and rapidly reduce the concentration of
combustible gas in the battery bin, so that the battery bin is in the normal working state again, and the battery bin and the electrical bin are isolated; when fire or
combustible gas exists in the battery bin, the fire or the
combustible gas cannot spread to the electrical bin quickly.
