Prevent, detect and contain lithium-ion thermal runaway in utility-scale battery energy storage.

Overview

Who should attend

Power-system, process and safety engineers; project developers; regulators and utility planners in the energy transition.

What you will be able to do
  • Explain the physics and failure modes behind the technology
  • Apply the governing standards and grid or safety codes
  • Assess project risk from design to commissioning
  • Prepare documentation regulators and insurers accept

5-day programme

Day 1Cell chemistry and thermal-runaway propagation
Day 2UL 9540A testing and what results really mean
Day 3NFPA 855 siting, spacing and explosion control
Day 4Off-gas detection, suppression and ventilation
Day 5Firefighter tactics and post-incident recovery

10-day programme

Days 1–5 as in the 5-day programme, then:

Day 6Advanced methods and standards deep-dive
Day 7Hands-on lab or software simulation
Day 8Industry case clinic with your own data
Day 9Team capstone project
Day 10Capstone presentations, assessment and certification
VR practical lab · optional

Practise the hands-on skills in virtual reality

Add a VR lab to this course: each participant wears a standalone headset and repeats real field tasks in a full-scale virtual site, with step-by-step guidance, scoring and an instructor dashboard. No risk to people or equipment, and no need to shut down a plant.

Example VR scenarios
  • Wind turbine climb and nacelle rescue
  • Solar PV string fault-finding
  • BESS thermal-runaway emergency response
  • Hydrogen leak detection and isolation
  • Electrolyser start-up procedure
  • Radiation-controlled area entry
