As lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries continue to gain global popularity for energy storage and power supply units for equipment and electric vehicle systems, our industry is responsible for ensuring their safety through rigorous testing and protection systems.
Sandia National Laboratory recently conducted third-party testing to determine the state of stability of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Li-ion Tamer (Gen2 system) was included in the testing and demonstrated good results for its ability to improve Li-ion battery safety through off-gas detection. The U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) funded the study.
Data centers are physical facilities that organizations use to house their critical applications and data. A data center’s design is based on a network of computer and storage resources that enable the delivery of shared applications and data. The critical components of a data center design include routers, switches, firewalls, storage systems, servers, and application-delivery controllers.
Gigafactories are specialized ultra-large volume production facilities for manufacturing lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells used for EVs and battery energy storage systems (BESS). The name is reflective of the capacity of the plant to build battery cells measured in gigawatts (GW) annually.
This guide examines how Li-ion Tamer® advanced detection technology can reduce insurance risk and liability with Li-ion BESSs while eliminating costly false positives and adding a layer of remote system monitoring. This new approach to fire safety can help protect insurance companies against probable maximum loss (PML) with greater confidence.
RISCAuthority and the Fire Protection Association (FPA) has published a need-to-know guide outlining the hazards and risk control recommendations for battery energy storage systems (BESS). Recommendations to minimize the risk or consequences of BESS fires include installation of battery sensor and gas detection technology.
A partnership between Xtralis and Gore Street Capital (GSC) reduced risk and resulted in a customer success story for the renewable energy investment manager. Li-ion Tamer was selected as the equipment of choice by Xtralis and GSC for Cremzow BESS, in northern Germany.
Nexceris and its Li-ion Tamer technology were featured in The Wall Street Journal on November 8, 2023. The article discusses how electric cars combust differently than their gas-powered counterparts. Firefighters and researchers said EV fires last longer, are harder to put out and have a tendency to reignite.
Li-ion Tamer will be attending Energy Taiwan from October 18-20, 2023 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1. During the same week, the Li-ion Tamer team will be attending Lithium SAFE: Battery Safety Workshop 2023 which is being held from October 17-19, 2023 in Greenville, South Carolina.
To address safety concerns across the spectrum of people involved in EV manufacturing, transport and use—from drivers to EV plant workers to first responders and others—Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) and Li-ion Tamer have created a number of ready-now solutions to not only protect individuals and assets, but also to help detect the risk of battery fires sooner.
