Presentation

Safe energy storage: principles for reliable marine batteries

Meeting the unique demands of design, performance, sustainability and safety is an ongoing challenge for the marine battery industry. This presentation describes principles and practices for ensuring the optimal performance of batteries and compliance with safety requirements. It argues that immersion cooling technology, implemented for the marine sector, not only provides the required power but also contributes to advanced safety features. This presentation will explore a mechanical test program that is going beyond marine standards (e.g. DNV) and stems from battery development for powerboat racing.
