CEA's Chris Wright shares his perspectives with fellow SPI panelists on energy storage safety trends.

Video Transcript:

Speaker 1:
Chris, what about you? Any trends that you see in your world?

Chris Wright:
Uh, not really on the fire detection; I think everybody would like to catch it earlier, right. And then, um, you know, sometimes you think about the gas detection system, so you can understand what kind of fire you have. If you have an electronic fire, you might respond differently, right, than if you actually know that you have a battery fire. And so I've seen a little bit of, of work going on in that area, but really, it seems like the self contained, you know, systems that are built into the containers and that they're going to exhaust, first to put out a fire. And then, like you said, the ventilation that the passive ventilation systems is really what I see. I haven't, I haven't seen anything either in the active ventilation.

Speaker 3:
Yeah. And I've yeah. And I've seen, you know, that I'm trying to try and to be able to stop at, at actually the module level and putting pins within the module separation, you know, fire suppressant or whatever. Uh, you know, different types of things to stop it at that point. So it doesn't spread throughout, you know? Cause I mean, if that one in Arizona was just, you know, as, as the report said, was just one rack. So one rack can do a lot of damage.
