SHENZHEN, China<\/span><\/span>, Dec. 16, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Huawei Digital Power’s Commercial and Industrial Hybrid Cooling Grid Forming Energy Storage System (C&I GFM ESS) has successfully passed a stringent extreme ignition test<\/b> witnessed by T\u00dcV Rheinland. Conducted at a national key fire safety lab, the test is the industry’s first fire assessment of an ESS in compliance with the latest UL 9540A:2025 standard.<\/p>\n

Extreme Challenge: Rigorous Test Environment<\/b><\/p>\n

The test was designed to create the industry’s most demanding verification environment, evaluating the safety performance of ESSs under extreme ignition scenarios. A pack-level overcharge method was used to trigger simultaneous thermal runaway in 60 battery cells.<\/b> Compared with tests involving only single or a few cells, the severity of this assessment increases exponentially.<\/p>\n

Further rigor was ensured through the following conditions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The open-door ignition test method specified in\u00a0UL 9540A:2025 is employed to maximize oxygen availability.<\/li>\n
  2. All packs are fully charged to 100%\u00a0SOC.<\/li>\n
  3. All proactive and passive fire suppression systems are disabled during testing, requiring the\u00a0ESSs to rely solely on their intrinsic design to withstand combustion at full energy capacity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Proven Strength: Five-Level Protection System<\/b><\/p>\n

    Under these extreme conditions, Huawei’s C&I GFM ESS demonstrated outstanding safety performance, supported by its innovative five-level protection design.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Inter-cell thermal isolation<\/b>: It effectively slows down the thermal runaway propagation between cells, providing the first defense for system safety.<\/li>\n
    2. All-metal pack enclosure<\/b>: The enclosure can withstand temperatures higher than 1500\u00b0C, maintaining structural integrity even under intense fire to minimize damage.<\/li>\n
    3. Positive-pressure oxygen blocking and directional smoke exhaust<\/b>: This innovative design redirects combustibles, significantly reducing fire impact.<\/li>\n
    4. Fireproof labyrinth design<\/b>: All ESS sealing surfaces feature a labyrinth structure to effectively prevent flame spread.<\/li>\n
    5. Enhanced container fire resistance<\/b>: The container is armored to provide comprehensive fire protection.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Data Evidence: Key Indicators Demonstrating Excellent Performance<\/b><\/p>\n

      Test data robustly validates the safety and reliability of Huawei’s C&I GFM ESS. When the fire temperature reached<\/b> 961\u00b0C, the highest cell temperature of an adjacent ESS was only 45.3\u00b0C, well below the threshold for opening the cell explosion-proof valve<\/b>. The system fully complied with UL 9540A:2025 requirements, with no fire propagation between units.<\/p>\n

      The recorded peak heat release rate (HRR) was 3 MW. Total combustion lasted less than three hours before self-extinguishing<\/b>. Under open-door burning conditions, the system rapidly managed heat release, demonstrating superior thermal management capability.<\/p>\n
