As we transition to net zero policies, battery safety is quite challenging. Policy in the UK at this moment requires that all new vehicles need to be either electric or hybrid by 2035
In this newsletter, James Close provides a comprehensive overview of lithium-ion batteries, battery failure scenarios, and the characteristics of battery energy storage failure. He examines two case studies involving battery deflagrations and fires and the main factors that contributed to both incidents. He then presents a detailed look at testing methodologies aimed at improving the safety of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
He covers:
Thermal runaway models, safeguard and mitigation designs, the usage of firefighting equipment, thermal barrier designs, and other applications can all benefit from battery testing.
Have a great and safe day.
