Bandweaver to host webinar on protection of solar photovoltaic assets

by WebbedFeet

With the growing expansion of renewable and sustainable energy, solar photovoltaic assets play a key role in achieving a green energy future. As the number of assets continues to grow there are a number of issues that can be addressed through the use of state of the art fiber monitoring systems.

At 10am on Tuesday 19th November join a panel of experts as we explore the challenges of protecting solar photovoltaic assets.

Our webinar will cover both fire and security risks to photovoltaic assets of any size, from large scale solar farms to compact inner city facilities.

You’ll come away with an understanding of the technological principles of fiber optic monitoring systems, how they are implemented and how they can benefit owners and operators.

Enhancing safety: Advanced Linear Heat Detection System for Asian Battery Storage Facility

by WebbedFeet

A leading distributor of electrical components, including lithium-ion batteries, faces unique safety challenges. While lithium-ion batteries are generally safe, they can emit toxic fumes if they catch fire. In the event of thermal runaway, a rapid and uncontrollable reaction can cause the fire to spread quickly, leading to a chain reaction that is difficult to contain. Unlike conventional fires, extinguishing a lithium-ion battery fire may require up to five times more water, making it a particularly complex hazard to manage.

The client required a state-of-the-art fire detection system to ensure safety in their facility, which stores lithium-ion batteries in multi-story bays within high, three-dimensional warehouses. With 400 bays in total, these enclosed spaces pose challenges for conventional fire detection technologies like beam detectors, video flame detection, and aspirating systems. Initially, the client considered installing low-cost smoke detectors in each bay, but they also sought a solution capable of detecting heat rise before thermal runaway occurs and before smoke is emitted, ensuring early intervention and minimising the risk of a fast-spreading fire.
