Metis Engineering’s Battery Safety Sensor monitors pack health, detects cell venting

Charged

Metis Engineering’s Battery Safety Sensor is designed to monitor the health of a lithium-ion battery pack and detect cell venting, an early sign of catastrophic battery failure. The sensor can also trigger a process to cut the circuit to the battery pack, allowing it to cool down and hopefully prevent thermal runaway.

Arverne headquarters in Pau, France to be equipped with geothermal system

ThinkGeoEnergy

Drilling work has started for a geothermal heating and cooling system that will be integrated into the Biotope building, the future headquarters of industrial company Arverne Group in Pau, France. The system will harness geothermal energy from a shallow borefield which will provide heating and cooling for 2700 square meters of office space.

Storing Energy in the Freezer: Long-Duration Thermal Storage Comes of Age

GreenTechMedia

Jason Dreisbach fields at least half a dozen calls every week from people trying to sell him a technology to lower his energy costs. Cold storage — from frozen food warehouses to grocery and restaurant refrigeration — has one of the highest energy costs of any industry; energy expenditures are usually second only to payroll.

Waste and recycling: taking a proactive approach to fire safety

Envirotec Magazine

Fire-protection cameras allow potentially hazardous areas to be monitored. Any damaged batteries should be isolated, and lithium-ion batteries used to power vehicles or machinery should be removed from equipment and stored separately. Waste should be regularly monitored to prevent a reaction between different types of material.

BMS functional verification: the safety-first approach

Charged

Battery Management Systems (BMS) Electric vehicle (EV) battery packs – which can contain from a few dozen to more than 1,000 cells – must be controlled for optimum performance in terms of releasing and accepting power. Current flow into and from the pack must be monitored. But what are the real cell voltages?
