Further attempts are being made to recall batteries thought to pose fire risk through overheating in Australia, with thousands of home energy storage systems believed to be affected.

Any new energy technology asset class comes with risk that needs to be recognised, write Liam McEneaney and Daniel Stevens at AXIS Insurance.

Invinity Energy’s UL1973 safety certification will open up doors for its technology and streamline complex project development steps.

Fire testing of Fluence’s battery storage solution showed that thermal runaway in one ‘Cube’ would not spread fire to surrounding units.

LFP batteries from CATL and Narada are among those ranked highest performance for stationary energy storage in DNV’s new ‘Battery Scorecard’.

Ambri, the US high temperature liquid metal battery startup, has received key UL 1973 certification for safe operation of its systems.

Energy storage solutions company Leclanché claims an addition to its lithium-ion battery can reduce the risk of a thermal event by close to 80%, two months after a fire occurred in its battery production facility.

Battery storage system safety was at the top of the agenda for many vendors and their customers at ees Europe last week.

A liquid coolant leak caused thermal runaway in battery cells which started a fire at the 300MW/450MWh Victorian Big Battery in Australia.

Power company AES Corporation is investigating the cause of what has been described as a thermal runaway incident at a 10MW battery energy storage system (BESS) site it owns and operates in Chandler, Arizona.
