Battery Fires in Stationary Grid ESS and EV: Challenges and Mitigation Plans

The transportation and energy ecosystems are undergoing a dynamic transition globally with a paradigm shift from lead-acid to lithium-ion batteries. With the increased demand for electric vehicles and stationary energy, energy storage systems are becoming a necessity of these ecosystems.

As we scale up production and usage of energy storage systems, it is critical to establish, understand and follow standards and safety precautions to avoid future predicaments.

On this background, IESA in association with Underwriters Laboratories Inc. brings a Masterclass Series on Safety and Standards of Energy Storage Systems that will help participants understand different ESS standards and their implementation.

Battery Fires in Stationary Grid ESS and EV: Challenges and Mitigation Plans is the last session from the masterclass. The earlier sessions from the Masterclass Series on Safety and Standards of Energy Storage Systems are:

• Standards for Transportation of Lithium-ion Batteries
• Standards for Lithium-ion Batteries
• Standards for Energy Storage System
• Standards for Electric Vehicle
• Standard for Repurposed Batteries and Recycling of Batteries
