ABS and Siemens Energy have launched a joint development project (JDP) focused on understanding thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries through advanced modeling and simulation. This collaboration aims to enhance the safety and reliability of energy storage systems within the marine and offshore sectors. By integrating ABS’s expertise in classification and standards with Siemens Energy’s focus on digital simulation and industrial innovations, the project seeks to uncover critical insights into battery behavior under extreme conditions.
Michael Kei, ABS Vice President of Technology, emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating that it combines their safety standards experience with Siemens Energy’s modeling capabilities. This synergy is expected to bolster the confidence of marine and offshore industries in the design and operation of next-generation energy storage technologies.
Lars Barstad, Siemens Energy’s Technology Manager for Battery Systems, highlighted that the introduction of advanced modeling is a pivotal step toward a safer, more sustainable future. This initiative will optimize the design and operational requirements of battery systems employed in marine and offshore applications.
Throughout the project, ABS and Siemens Energy will leverage simulation-based validation to assess battery pack performance, identify necessary design enhancements, and improve safety assurance throughout the energy storage lifecycle.
