TWAICE Vision Summit 2024: Battery incidents under scrutiny
April 10, 2024
Battery incidents under scrutiny
Lakshmi Srinivasan, Principal Team Lead Energy Storage at EPRI, gave a presentation at the TWAICE Vision Summit 2024 titled "Battery incidents under scrutiny: a closer look at the causes of energy storage system failures and fires"
Lakshmi underlined that the majority of BESS failures occur in the first year of operation.
The latest studies are identifying the causes of safety failures more and more precisely and in this regard it is essential to encourage cooperation between the various industry operators, a Lakshmi Srinivasan suggested: "Battery safety is not a place to compete on, it's a place to collaborate on".

Battery Technology
Batteries are highly complex electrochemical systems with different cell formats and chemistries being used. The processes inside the battery also deserve particular attention.
Why do lithium-ion batteries age, and how to slow it down?
Electric vehicle batteries are costly and sensitive parts, and their performance depends on numerous factors like frequency of charge and discharge, the charging system, driving habits, and external temperature. Until now, it was almost impossible for developers or users of batteries to make any reliable analysis or statement about the current state of the device. However, this information can be now delivered by the digital twin created by TWAICE.
