However, there is still much room for improvement in terms of unit cost, cycle life, and safety performance of lithium ion batteries. Among them, the safety problem of the lithium ion battery is particularly troublesome. Due to the special properties of the lithium ion battery, when the lithium ion battery is under an abuse condition, a chain reaction occurs inside the battery, the temperature inside the battery rises rapidly, and the lithium ion battery is easy to generate thermal runaway, so that serious fire explosion accidents are developed. Aiming at the characteristic that the lithium ion battery is easy to cause fire due to thermal runaway, a plurality of organizations have developed systematic research on the lithium ion battery fire extinguishing technology.

(2) The problem of after-combustion of the lithium ion battery after fire extinguishment is difficult to solve. (3) A scientific and reasonable fire extinguishing agent screening method is lacked, and the dosage of the fire extinguishing agent of a large-scale lithium ion battery energy storage system cannot be extrapolated according to a small-scale lithium ion battery fire extinguishing experiment. (4) Most of the existing fire extinguishing agent screening methods only aim at certain batteries or certain types of fire extinguishing agents and do not have universality.
The invention provides a screening method for the amount of a fire extinguishing agent for extinguishing a lithium ion battery fire. The method can determine the fire extinguishing agent dosage required by the protected lithium ion battery energy storage system according to the lithium ion battery material system and the space volume where the lithium ion battery material system is located, so as to provide reference for the design of a fire extinguishing system of the lithium ion battery energy storage equipment and protect the lithium ion battery energy storage equipment more efficiently.

Wherein, the thermal runaway of the battery in the experiment can be triggered by heating or overcharging. When thermal runaway is triggered in a heating mode, a high-power sheet heater with the same size as a battery is used; when the thermal runaway is triggered in an overcharging mode, the used charging current is the maximum charging current of the tested battery.
Furthermore, in order to leave a certain safety margin for the screening result, the battery adopted in the experimental stage is the battery with the highest danger of the state of charge of 100% after thermal runaway.

Wherein, the initial dosage of the fire extinguishing agent used in the battery pack fire extinguishing experiment is larger, and 1.5-2.0kg is recommended.
In the battery pack fire extinguishing experiment, except the number of the batteries, all other external conditions are consistent with the single battery fire extinguishing experiment.
Wherein, if the battery temperature obtained by the battery pack fire extinguishing experiment is higher than any point on the fitting curve, the using amount of the fire extinguishing agent is increased (the using amount of the fire extinguishing agent is recommended to be increased by taking 0.5kg as a gradient), and the experiment is carried out again.
