MUNICH, Dec. 4, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Trina Storage, the global leading energy storage
product and solution provider, is pleased to announce the release
of its highly anticipated White Paper on the Safety and Reliability
of Energy Storage Systems, co-authored with TÜV NORD. This
comprehensive document serves as a critical resource for industry
stakeholders, addressing essential challenges and innovative
solutions that ensure the safety and effectiveness of energy
storage technologies worldwide.
Safety Challenges and Market Trends: Key Insights for the
Industry
The white paper begins by analyzing the current landscape of
energy storage systems, highlighting emerging market trends and
application scenarios across generation, transmission, and demand
sides. It emphasizes significant safety challenges, such as thermal
runaway and electrical hazards, while outlining a framework for
risk assessment and mitigation.
Product Safety: The Foundation of Energy Storage
Systems
The safety of energy storage systems fundamentally relies on the
safety of their constituent products. The white paper emphasizes
that ensuring intrinsic battery safety is key to stable system
operation. Beginning with electrochemical development, in-depth
analysis of failure mechanisms enables the design of cells capable
of withstanding extreme mechanical, electrical, and thermal
stresses, thereby reducing risks of fire or explosion.
Comprehensive safety testing, such as GB/T 36276, UL 1973, IEC
62619, and UL 9540A, further ensures cell stability and reliability
under a wide range of conditions.
Additionally, the white paper highlights that electrical,
structural, thermal management, and fire protection designs within
energy storage products are critical to system safety. The
design in these aspects should fully consider potential safety
risks and take corresponding preventive measures to ensure the
system remains stable under various extreme conditions.
Quality Control: Essential for System Reliability
Beyond product safety, quality control is a crucial factor in
ensuring the reliability of energy storage systems. The white paper
underscores that a comprehensive quality management system should
encompass end-to-end oversight from R&D through production to
after-sale support. In the R&D phase, rigorous simulations and
testing protocols are recommended to preemptively address potential
safety risks. During production and after-sales, strict process
controls and robust monitoring ensure that quality standards are
maintained and operational issues are promptly addressed.
Rigorous Testing and Validation: Ensuring Reliable System
Safety
The ultimate assurance of safety and reliability in energy
storage systems is achieved through stringent testing and
validation. The white paper highlights essential safety tests,
emphasizing the importance of comprehensive testing to identify
risks and implement effective mitigation strategies. It also
advocates for active third-party validation to further enhance
safety, providing critical data for performance verification and
continuous improvement.
"As the global demand for energy storage systems continues to
surge, ensuring their safety and reliability has become a shared
responsibility across the industry." said Dr. Kai Yang, Director of Advanced Institute for
Energy Storage at Trina Storage. "At Trina Storage, we are
committed to driving the energy transition forward in a safe and
reliable manner, and we encourage all industry players to join us
in raising the standards for energy storage safety."
Backed by a strong track record of delivering reliable energy
storage solutions, Trina Storage continues to demonstrate its
commitment to excellence through the advanced designs and robust
safety features of its products, ensuring top-tier performance in
real-world applications.
