Trina Storage Leads Safety Discussions at Energy Storage Conference, Setting New Standards for Industry Self-Regulation

Collaborating on Advanced Safety Verification and Shaping Industry Self-Regulation Standards | Trina Storage Debuts at the Energy Storage Safety Conference, Promoting New Safety Verification Standards

On October 16, the fifth Energy Storage Safety Symposium was successfully held in Tianjin, where Deng Wei, the Global Products and Solutions Director of Trina Storage, was invited to participate in the “Large-Scale Fire Test Roundtable Discussion.” During the session, he provided insights on critical issues such as the necessity of testing, standard discrepancies, and certification costs.

Deng emphasized that as the scale and system integration of energy storage projects continue to grow, GWh-level projects are increasingly emerging. Systematic experiments conducted under conditions that closely resemble real application scenarios are essential for fully assessing the safety boundaries of energy storage systems. This approach offers valuable data and standards for the industry.

The large-scale fire test is a fundamental method for verifying the safety baseline of energy storage systems and reflects the manufacturer’s responsibility for the long-term safety of customer assets. Trina Storage has consistently held itself to high standards. As early as September 2024, Trina Storage released the “Trina Storage System Safety and Reliability White Paper”, based on cabin-level combustion experiments, showcasing the combustion process and experimental results. This document highlights the outstanding safety performance of Trina Storage systems under extreme conditions and their rapid response capabilities in risk scenarios.

In response to the industry’s escalating safety requirements, Trina Storage is actively advancing large-scale combustion experiments at the site level, adhering to the latest global standards. By inviting renowned global organizations to participate and having North American fire engineering teams witness the tests on-site, the company aims to validate energy storage safety through methods that closely simulate real application environments, setting a new benchmark for safety verification in the industry.

As a leading global provider of energy storage system solutions, Trina Storage is committed to offering clients safe, efficient, and sustainable energy storage products. Regarding cell safety, Trina Storage has developed highly secure active materials, separators, and electrolytes sourced from raw materials, ensuring the intrinsic safety of its products. For system-level safety, Trina Storage utilizes high-protection materials and robust hardware designs, achieving an IP55/C5 high protection rating for the entire cabinet, making them resilient against various harsh environmental challenges.

By establishing an internationally leading functional safety development system, Trina Storage has implemented a comprehensive safety closed-loop control from R&D design, production, to operational management, significantly enhancing the overall reliability and safety performance of its products.

During the conference, the “Self-Regulation Practice Guidelines for Container Lithium Battery Energy Storage Systems”, led by the Zhongguancun Energy Storage Industry Technology Alliance and deeply participated in by Trina Storage, was officially released. As the first normative guidance document specifically for container lithium battery energy storage systems, the guidelines prioritize “safety first, controllable risks, green and low-carbon, compatibility and interchangeability, and traceable quality.” This framework establishes clear baseline requirements for the design, key subsystems, and components of energy storage systems, creating a systematic safety self-regulation framework for the industry.

From actively participating in combustion experiment discussions to jointly initiating industry self-regulation standards, Trina Storage embodies the principle of “safety as the foundation” through its actions. In light of the rapid development of the energy storage industry, Trina Storage will continue to leverage a global perspective and technological innovation to build a more comprehensive safety system, fostering steady progress in the energy storage industry along a path of high standards and quality.
