Wenn der Boom nach Deutschland kommt, müssen Sicherheitsfaktoren unbegingt beachtet werden. In den USA gibt es Lithium-Ionen-Speicher seit Jahren, mit teils schweren Störfällen. Neue Projekte in Deutschland verzichten oft auf Explosionsschutz. Ein Blick in NFPA 855 hilft bei einem sicheren Konzept.
Batteriegroßspeicher erleben einen Boom
Um Erneuerbare Energien effizienter zu nutzen, werden Batteriegroßspeicher benötigt. Für Experten sind sie ein entscheidender Baustein der Energiewende. Die Nachfrage ist enorm. Von Peter Sauer.

The new "self-extinguishing" battery tech with fire suppressant is promising, but does it address the root causes of fires like thermal runaway?
Curious about its real-world performance in high-impact crashes or long-term wear.

What do you think? #EV #BatterySafety #FireSafety
