Such a protection concept makes stationary lithium-ion battery storage systems a manageable risk. In December 2019, the "Protection Concept for Stationary Lithium-Ion Battery Energy Storage Systems" developed by Siemens was the first (and to date only) fire protection concept to receive VdS approval (VdS no. S 619002).
