The first step to conduct a safety risk assessment is to identify potential hazards. In the case of carriage of lithium batteries as cargo, here are some examples of potential hazards that can be found: large volume of e-commerce parcels containing high capacity lithium batteries that are packed in plastic bags or simply undeclared.
Researching advanced battery management algorithms is crucial for improving the safety of containerized lithium-ion BESS. Compared to electric vehicles, these systems have many safety monitoring and measuring devices, making it possible to establish a more accurate safety warning mechanism.
(2) The emphasis on lithium battery research has led to rapid advancements in lithium battery energy storage technology. The modeling framework proposed in this study may become inaccurate due to improvements in lithium battery safety and cost reductions.
The lithium-ion BESS consists of hundreds of batteries connected in series and parallel. Therefore, the safety of the whole system can be fundamentally improved by improving the intrinsic safety of the battery. 5.1.1. Improving the quality level of battery manufacturing
The key safety issues after battery failure are controlling a large amount of battery heat and reducing the production of flammable and toxic gases. The conditions leading to heat and gas generation can be essentially avoided by optimizing the battery material structure to improve the safety of battery systems.
History shows that the automotive industry has been very successful in managing the risk posed by gasoline, a highly combustible fluid with an energy density 100 times more than the most energy-dense of advance batteries. This paper discusses a methodology developed for the risk assessment of advance batteries.
