As previously mentioned, battery safety risks include (1) mechanical, (2) electrical, (3) thermal, and (4) electrochemical abuses, as well as (5) unintentional manufacturing defects or contamination. The first four can arise anytime during the cell life, while the last introduces risks before field deployment.
However, despite the glow of opportunity, it is important that the safety risks posed by batteries are effectively managed. Battery power has been around for a long time. The risks inherent in the production, storage, use and disposal of batteries are not new.
Safety test standards are designed to ensure that certified LIBs have sufficiently low risks of safety accidents in specified kinds of thermal runaway induction and expansion situations. Battery safety standards are constantly being updated and optimized, because current tests cannot fully guarantee their safety in practical applications.
Various process safety studies can be applied to battery operations. A HAZID can identify potentially hazardous scenarios associated with the handling, assembly, use, storage or testing of Li-ion batteries and their components. Other studies that could be applied include:
Since undesirable and uncontrollable heat and gas generation from various parasitic reactions are the leading causes of LIB safety accidents, efforts to improve battery safety need to focus on ways to prevent LIBs from generating excessive heat, keeping them working at a suitable voltage range, and improving their cooling rates. 4.1.
The SAE recommends that results of each test should be reported in terms of the Hazard Severity levels described in Table 8 , and the use of such information in Battery safety and Hazard risk migration approaches. Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS) responses in abusive tests should be determined.
