Lithium-ion battery storage system integrator Fluence and iron-air battery startup Form Energy have completed fire safety and explosion testing of energy storage technologies.
Wärtsilä has carried out more large-scale fire tests on its battery storage units, which the system integrator claimed closely resemble real-life ‘worst-case scenario’ conditions.
Steve Kenny, general manager for Advanced Fire Detection at Honeywell Building Technologies talks about why the detection of off-gases is an important line of defence.
A US company which claims its lithium-ion battery technology can be “safely installed in nearly any environment” has raised US$94.65 million in a Series C funding round.
