Guidelines for the fire safety of battery energy storage systems

There are currently no rules, advice or standards for how fire protection should be dimensioned or where battery energy storage systems can be installed in Sweden. This creates an uncertainty for those who want to install battery …

Thermal Runaway of li-ion batteries; studies of gases and heat release

Performance and safety are key features for batteries to fully penetrate the car industry. The demand for higher specific capacity and power for electric vehicles does, however, imply that more energy is available leading to an in…

Fire in new energy carriers on deck 2.0

The aim of BREND 2 is to improve the possibilities for a safe firefighting operation in ro-ro spaces by improving the competence in how personnel assess the fire risks with alternative fuel vehicles. Special focus will be on the r…

Extinguishment and mitigation of fires in Lithium-ion batteries at sea

Li-ion batteries are part of the solution to lower the emissions from transport at sea. Fire safety for the battery systems has however been identified as a key question when introducing battery propulsion at sea. In order to rea…

A lower risk of fire with electric cars?

Frequently, electric cars are associated with a higher risk of fire compared to fossil-fuel vehicles. But in fact, the very opposite may be true. Nevertheless, serious consideration must be given to the other risks associated with…

Tests for fire detection systems intended for engine compartments

Tests for fire detection systems intended for engine compartment according to SP Method 5320.

Battery thermal runaway simulations

Multi-physics simulations together with full-scale testing is a cost-effective method for designing safer batteries. RISE is expert in this area.

Battery Fire Safety

Society is shifting from fossil-fuels to renewable energy sources and batteries are becoming increasingly more common. There are safety concerns with batteries and energy storage systems, however. To future-proof your technologies…
