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

扣留项目汇集了Unipart Logistics、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。该联盟的目标是使用智能系统来探测和控制热失控：扣留。扣留项目利用了联盟不同的专业知识、责任和发展雄心，审查了整个行业的需求，并开发了一个智能存储设施，为端到端的电动汽车供应链提供了一个可持续的替代牺牲存储和“让它燃烧”的方法。法拉第挑战赛设定了一个目标，即到2035年消除电池组层面的热失控。在实现这一目标之前，设计和制造的电池仍然容易发生热失控，特别是在损坏或出现故障时，并且需要安全存储。扣留项目符合供应链需求，以更好地管理目前正在生产的电池，并实现即将到来的增长预测。该项目还支持法拉第对可回收性的挑战，因为安全有效的存储解决方案将是开发高效再制造、报废再利用和回收的关键。为了检测热失控，将有三个重点领域：1)下一代硬件的BMS热失控检测算法，2)外部安装（电池上）热失控检测系统，以及3)电池存储设施的分布式传感器网络。为了控制热失控，“扣留项目”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控制响应。该项目还关注安全、立法和监管要求，以确保开发的解决方案得到相关保险机构的批准，以及批准解决方案的测试要求。可行性研究使该联盟能够充分调查智能电池存储设施的潜力，并了解提供概念验证的要求。项目扣留的目标是：*完成对最先进的工艺，产品和技术的全面分析，以检测和控制热失控，*预测连接的智能存储解决方案如何符合安全和保险要求，*产生差距分析以确定所需的进一步发展，*设计和规划概念验证设施，*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.
