Does Denmark have a standard for lithium-ion battery fire and explosion testing?

Denmark also lacks specific protocols for Lithium-ion battery fire and explosion testing, e.g., UL 9540A, which is a benchmark test recommended in many other countries. Danish guidelines may furthermore provide more clarification on when and which suppression systems should be installed, depending on BESS design parameters.

Are lithium ion batteries a viable energy storage solution?

Batteries, in particular lithium ion batteries, are among the most well-known and economically feasible technologies for energy storage. As of today it is the only realistic solution for batteries in electric cars, mobile phones and similar mobile devices. But there is a downside.

What is Danish Center for energy storage?

Danish Center for Energy Storage, DaCES, is a partnership that covers the entire value chain from research and innovation to industry and export in the field of energy storage and conversion. The ambition of DaCES is to strengthen cooperation, sharing of knowledge and establishment of new partnerships between companies and universities.

Are lithium-ion batteries a viable option for energy storage and balancing grids?

Aside from presenting a viable opportunity for energy storage or balancing electrical grids, BESS present significant fire and explosion risks, due to employment of Lithium-ion batteries (LIB), which are susceptible to thermal runaway (TR).
