Project DETAIN: Designing an intelligent EV battery storage facility capable of the DETection and contiAINment of thermal runaway

Detain项目集合了UniPart物流、Aspire Engineering、HORIBA Mira和Instrumentel的专业知识，开发了一种“智能”高压电池存储解决方案，以降低与热失控相关的风险。该财团的雄心是使用智能系统来检测和遏制热失控：DETAIN。Project Detain利用该财团不同的专业知识、责任和增长雄心来审查整个行业的要求，并开发智能存储设施，为端到端电动汽车供应链提供可持续的替代方案，而不是牺牲存储和“任其燃烧”的方法。Faraday Challenger制定了到2035年在电池组层面消除热失控的目标。在实现这一目标之前，设计和制造的电池仍然容易受到热失控的影响，特别是在损坏或故障时，需要安全储存。Project Detain与供应链需求保持一致，以更好地管理目前正在生产的电池，并实现预测的迫在眉睫的增长。该项目还支持Faraday对可回收性的挑战，因为安全和有效的存储解决方案将是开发高效再制造、报废和回收的关键。要检测热失控，将有三个重点领域：1)用于下一代硬件的BMS热失控检测算法，2)(电池上)外部安装的热失控检测系统，以及3)用于电池存储设施的分布式传感器网络。为了遏制热失控，Project Detain将研究自动化、灭火材料以及两者的组合，以便在检测到热失控时提供有效的无人值守遏制响应。该项目还额外关注了安全性，确保正在开发的解决方案得到相关保险机构批准的立法和法规要求，以及批准解决方案的测试要求。可行性研究使财团能够全面调查智能电池存储设施的潜力，并了解交付概念验证的要求。项目Detain的目标是：*完成对最先进的工艺、产品和技术的全面分析，以检测和遏制热失控；*预测联网的智能存储解决方案如何根据安全和保险要求发挥作用；*产生差距分析，以确定所需的进一步开发；*概念验证设施的设计和计划；*指定测量概念验证有效性所需的测试设施。

Project DETAIN brings together the expertise of Unipart Logistics, Aspire Engineering, HORIBA MIRA, and Instrumentel, to develop an 'intelligent' high voltage battery storage solution to mitigate the risks associated with thermal runaway. The consortium have an ambition to use intelligent systems to DETect and contAIN thermal runaway: DETAIN.Project DETAIN draws on the varying expertise, responsibilities and growth ambitions of the consortium to review industry-wide requirements and develop an intelligent storage facility to provide the end-to-end Electric Vehicle supply chain with a sustainable alternative to sacrificial storage and the 'let it burn' approach.The Faraday Challenge has set a target to eliminate thermal runaway at pack level by 2035\. Until that is achieved, the batteries that are designed and built will still be susceptible to thermal runaway, particularly when damaged or faulty, and will need to be safely stored. Project DETAIN aligns with the supply chain need to better manage the batteries currently in production and enable the imminent growth predicted. The project also supports the Faraday challenge for recyclability, as safe and effective storage solutions will be key to development of efficient remanufacturing, reuse for End-of-Life and recycling.To detect thermal runaway there will be three areas of focus: 1) BMS thermal runaway detection algorithms for next generation hardware, 2) externally mounted (on battery) thermal runaway detection systems, and 3) distributed sensor networks for battery storage facilities.To contain thermal runaway, Project DETAIN will investigate automation, fire suppression materials, and combinations of the two, to deliver an effective unmanned containment response when thermal runaway has been detected.The project has additional focus on the safety, legislative and regulatory requirements to ensure solutions being developed are approved by relevant Insurance bodies, and the testing requirements to approve the solution.The feasibility study allows the consortium to fully investigate the potential of an intelligent battery storage facility and understand the requirements to deliver a proof of concept. Project DETAIN's objectives are to:* Complete a holistic analysis of the state-of-the-art processes, products and technology to detect and contain thermal runaway,* Predict how an connected, intelligent storage solution could function in line with safety and insurance requirements,* Produce a gap analysis to identify further developments required,* A design and plan for the proof of concept facility,* Specify the testing facilities required to measure the efficacy of the proof of concept.
