Battery Energy Storage Solutions – what are the safety risks?
The Battery Value Chain podcast
As battery energy storage solutions enter the market – solutions that can improve the stability, efficiency and sustainability of the energy supply and help reduce the need for fossil fuels by smoothing the supply of fossil-free energy from the sun and wind - there is an increasing need for knowledge about the risks and safety associated with battery storage, such as fire and explosion. Guests: Andreas Kräling, Head of Property Risk Management Services, If Oskar Grönlund, Researcher, RISE Magnus Ling, Sales Manager Battery testing, RISE Host: Dina Dedic, Battery Program Manager, RISE
