“Montrey County Supervisory Board held an emergency meeting on Friday morning to discuss the fire. The county director Glenn Church told KSVW-TV:” There is no way to apply sugar. This is a disaster, which is “”.

The flames of Vistra Corp, about 77 miles south south of San Francisco, at the Moss Landing Gas Power Plant site, about 77 miles south of San Francisco, in the south of San Francisco, prompting on -site staff and some nearby areas to evacuate Essence The fire first started, but broke out the next day.

Firefighters decided to burn the fire, not trying to extinguish it. A Monter official told Reuters, “According to firefighters, the best way is to allow buildings and turrets to burn.” Officials said that the fire was finally burned on January 20.

CNBC reported on Friday that about 40 % of buildings have been consumed in the fire, and the reason is still under investigation.

The Vistra factory has a power storage capacity of 750 MW or 3,000-MWH electricity, which can provide spare power for solar gas and electrical solar energy located in Auckland solar energy.

When Vistra, headquartered in Texas, completed the construction of the project in August 2023, it claimed that the Moss Landing battery storage was “the largest battery in the world”. Since then, Edwards & Sanborn Solar +Energy Storage site in Kain County, California has e afternoon the energy storage site. This is a United Air Force and local public business projects, 875 MW and 3,287-MWH, respectively.

The Montere County Supervisory Board held an emergency meeting on Friday morning to discuss the fire. County director Glenn Church told KSVW-TV: “There is no way to perform sugar coats. This is a disaster, that's it.”

The fire also produced a wider range of political interests. The female member of the California Parliament Dawn Addis (D-Morro Bay) issued a statement, news of the spread of fire. “I am very concerned and have serious questions about the safety of the battery energy storage plant. I will seek transparency and accountability to solve why this happens again when moss landing. The battery storage fire happened again on the central coast. “She said. She is the chairman of the core group of California Legislative Coast.

Previous problem

Renewal Energy World Report said that the moss landing battery array has the history of square grids and pointed out that the fire broke out at the earliest 300 meters of the factory. A software problem in September 2021

As a result, the thermal suppression system activates and dials three 100 MW batteries … It was convened a firefighter, but Vistra finally determined that there was no fire, and there was no harm to the external system or any personnel.

In February 2022, in the 100 MW II building next door, “Second, almost the same incident involved early detection safety system …”

California's big bet

California leads the national battery energy storage. There is no current number available, because the industry has grown so fast, so it is difficult to keep up. According to data from the Energy Information Administration, at the end of November 2023, there were 7.302 GW battery storage in California, followed by 3.167 GW in Texas. There are no other states that have 1 Gaval battery storage. Bloomberg reported that from 2021 to 2023, there were 8,171 MW of storage space in California.

This makes California a test bed for battery storage, including increasing information about the fire. Lithium -ion battery is famous for fire, and the fire of public utilization has attracted a lot of attention. Bloomberg report last week

After several fires on large battery devices, the highway 1-developers in California's highway 1-developers switched the battery formula in the 2022 fire, so the cells were not easy to overheat.

Previous fire

In May last year, a fire broke out in the 250 MW Gateway Gateway Li-ION project near San Diego. The fire prompted the evacuation and road closure near the plants not far from the Mexican border. The fire burned for 11 days.

The Power Research Institute (EPRI) headquarters of Palo Alto tracked the global battery energy storage system. EPRI said in the 2023 paper: “In the past four years, even if the global battery deployment has increased by 20 times, there are an average of 10 such faults per year.” [1]

[1] EPRI research includes:

• Evaluate the characteristics of battery batteries and system failure to inform the safety relief technology;
• The formulation of event response guidelines;
• Safety training and education of stakeholders.
