Battery energy storage systems (BESS) ensure grid stability and align supply with demand by storing surplus energy during periods of abundance and discharging it only when needed.
But they require a lot of monitoring: individual battery cells vary in quality and age, and these cell imbalances increase stress on the system. This leads to wasted energy and increased downtime. At the same time, regulators are paying attention and developing safety standards that apply to battery storage and the risks involved. In this webinar, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how analytics can help you identify and mitigate battery performance and safety risks along the entire lifecycle, from design over commissioning & operation to de-commissioning.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• De-risk deployment and operators of BESS from design over commissioning & operation to de-commissioning
• Why monitoring battery systems with advanced analytics is so important
• How to identify issues with your system early on
• How to optimize BESS performance
• Industry best practices and emerging trends

Understand and Prevent Battery Fires and Explosions – and Avoid Costly Failures Like the Samsung Note 7
Modern batteries (eg Li-Ion) contain hazardous chemicals & they heat up during use: this combination always has the potential to cause fires & explosions. This presentation will focus on improving the understanding of how these incidents occur, what can be done to avoid them & how the risk can be minimized during early stage design.
The Samsung Note 7 phone & Boeing Dreamliner airplane fires are very costly examples of how even large corporations fail to understand the potential fire risk of batteries.
The solution lies in knowledge of heat generation rate during normal use & information about safe boundaries such as temperature, discharge rate & overcharge, in realistic situations that represent actual use conditions. Data from commercial batteries of different types will be used to illustrate these points.
A relatively new technique will also be discussed with data, which allows total heat output during discharge to be measured on-line and this can be used both for design and battery modelling. Examples of the data will be provided.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Why battery fires & explosions occur
• How to design safer batteries though understanding of heat generation
• Video evidence of batteries under explosive conditions
• How better thermal management systems can be designed – based on heat measurement from isothermal calorimetry
• Laboratory instruments suitable for testing and data generationPresenter
Dr. Jasbir Singh – Managing Director at Hazard Evaluation LaboratoryJasbir is a chemical engineer specializing in thermal hazards and calorimetry, traditionally for the chemical industry but now increasingly involved in battery safety, especially Li-ion EV and related types.
A graduate of Imperial College (London), where he undertook PhD into combustion and explosions, his experience includes many years in process design for the chemical and petrochemical industries. He is currently developing test methods and instruments for use in design of battery thermal management systems.
