The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Siemens Energy have signed a joint development project to advance the understanding of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries.
The collaboration aims to create new insights into how lithium-ion battery systems behave under extreme conditions, ultimately enhancing design verification, safety assurance and risk mitigation strategies.
Over the course of the project, ABS and Siemens Energy will use simulation-based validation to evaluate battery pack behaviour, identify design improvements, and strengthen safety assurance across the energy storage lifecycle.
“Safety and technical assurance are at the core of what we do. By combining ABS’s experience in safety standards with Siemens Energy’s advanced modelling capabilities, we are helping the marine and offshore industries move forward with greater confidence in the design and operation of next-generation energy storage technologies,” said Michael Kei, ABS vice president, technology.
