Fire safety of batteries
by Petra Andersson, senior researcher RISE Sweden and adjoint professor Lund University
Lithium-ion batteries has many advantages such as high energy density and long life time. They can however also pose a fire hazard as exemplified by several fires in hoverboards and phones. What implications does this have on the fire safety if larger format energy storage is used for instance for saving energy produced from solar and wind. What are the risks and hazards and how can they be mitigated?
