Thermal runaway and fire incidents in lithium-ion batteries pose a potential nightmare scenario for developers, risking millions of dollars in investment. While catastrophic battery failures are rare, even instances of overheating can significantly reduce the lifespan of an energy storage plant. 

During the webinar, a panel of experts will address strategies to mitigate overheating and thermal runaway risks, pinpoint the most common causes of fire incidents and the importance of battery certifications for safety. The webinar will also delve into design considerations to localize potential damage and prevent its spread within the facility. 

Don’t miss the opportunity to enhance your understanding of battery safety measures and protect your investments: 

• Discover the key certifications and standards that battery system manufacturers and integrators must meet to ensure safety from design and installation. 

• Learn how continuous monitoring can help you detect and address potential issues before they become catastrophic failures, thereby preserving the integrity of your system and your investment. 

• Explore design techniques that can limit the impact of a fire on a battery system, protecting not only infrastructure, but also surrounding assets and the environment. 

• Learn about the options of guarantees and insurance policies available to cover material and financial damage in the event of an eventual system failure, providing an additional layer of protection and peace of mind
