SUMMARY:Building Safer Energy Systems: A Deep Dive Into the EASE Battery Energy Storage System Safety Guidelines
DESCRIPTION:The European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) is glad to invite you to a webinar presenting the main takeaways from its recently published “Guidelines on Safety Best Practices for Battery Energy Storage Systems”. Developed by the EASE Task Force on Safety\, the guideline addresses best practices for improving safety in outdoor\, utility-scale lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) installations. The session will feature contributions from industry experts\, covering practical approaches to product\, site\, and personnel safety. It will also examine how these practices align with current regulatory and standardisation efforts. The webinar offers a chance to engage with the latest thinking on BESS safety and learn how to apply these insights to real-world projects. \nRegister here!\n  \nAgenda \n10:00 Introduction on Key Facts and Figures Related to BESS Safety \n10:05 Overview of the Battery Energy Storage System Safety Guidelines \n10:15 Presentations on Product Safety \n10:25 Presentations on Site Safety \n10:35 Presentation on Personnel Safety \n10:45 Q&A Session \n  \n\n\nGuest Speakers:\n\nHarshal Upadhye is a Technical Executive at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and is based out of Dubai Office. As a part of EPRI’s Energy Storage team he is focused on helping utilities in region adopt BESS technology.  Mr. Upadhye has 20+ years industry experience of which 10+ years have been at EPRI in various roles. Prior to EPRI\, Mr. Upadhye has experience in mechanical and electrical equipment design and manufacturing and a stint at an EPC firm. He has a master’s degree in mechanical engineering. \nRalf Schimanek is the Global Compliance Specialist at Fluence.
