While the deployment of energy storage systems (ESS) continues to grow globally, so too does the demand for ensuring their inherent hazards are understood. The Fike team will present both the dangers and causes of thermal runaway, an unpredictable fire hazard occurring in the lithium battery cells held within an ESS. Backed by years of internal test data, they will review the effectiveness of thermal runaway safety solutions recommended by the codes and standards from around the world, and will introduce a new thermal management and fire suppression solution, Fike Blue.
