Meeting the Challenge: 2017 Energy Storage System Safety Forum (2017 ESS Safety Forum) will be held February 22–24, 2017, in New Mexico, USA.
The main objective is to provide a platform to discuss the current state of ESS safety and mitigation strategies for improving cell to system safety and reliability. This open forum will allow researchers an opportunity to present their work in ESS, including research and development, code standards and regulations (CSRs), as well as gaps in CSRs that affect deployment of energy storage. This will encompass, but is not limited to, developing inherently safe battery chemistries, energy-storage software, power electronics and cyber security to improve safety and monitoring, designing safe systems, codes and standards, signage, and commissioning.
More information can be accessed from the forum website at https://share.sandia.gov/ess/ess-safety-forum-2017 or by email at ESSforum@sandia.gov.
