Managing the Threat of Thermal Runaway

The increasing deployment of energy storage systems (ESS) globally requires a focus on understanding their hazards and ensuring reliable safety systems. Every ESS is unique in its dimensions, battery types, goals, location of11 deployment. Fike will present the dangers & causes of thermal runaway, an unpredictable fire hazard occurring in the lithium battery cells held in an ESS. Backed by years of internal test data, we’ll explore the various layered methods of protecting an ESS and more importantly nearby people that we recommend to mitigate the effects of thermal runaway, which may include fire, explosion and offgassing hazards. 

Discussion Points:  

Identify the causes and risks of thermal runaway  

Evaluate different various ESS scenarios and when certain protection methods are needed 

Implement best practices for safety system design
