recently, at Summit USA 2026, an energy Storage that has attracted much attention in the global energy storage industry, Tianhe energy storage was invited to deliver a keynote speech, sharing “key experiences in large-scale combustion testing”. starting from system-level safety verification, it demonstrated the safety design capability of the energy storage system under extreme working conditions and received extensive attention on the spot.
As one of the most influential energy storage industry events in North America, the summit brought together the world’s leading developers, technology providers and industry organizations to conduct in-depth discussions on core issues such as energy storage security, system integration and project practice. In the context of the energy transition and the continuous growth of energy storage demand, safety has become one of the core focuses of the North American market. At this summit, Tianhe Energy Storage combined actual project experience and test data to share, focusing on the key concerns of current energy storage development, demonstrating its technological competitiveness in the global market.
Verify system-level safety capabilities with real limit conditions
In this sharing, tianhe Energy Storage introduces the recently completed full-scale combustion experimental test of the Elementa 2 Pro energy storage system. The experiment was carried out under the joint supervision of the international authority TÜV Rheinland Rheinland and the North American fire protection consulting agency Hiller Companies. Under extreme conditions close to actual operation, the experiment focused on evaluating the development of thermal runaway and the impact between systems by triggering and monitoring the whole process of the system.
the key test settings include:
the whole system runs at 100 SOC full power;
the main trigger module removes the cooling system;
shut down the fire fighting system and simulate the most unfavorable conditions;
multi-cabinet spacing and channels are arranged strictly according to the engineering;
The whole process of gas collection and data analysis.
The results show that in the long-term combustion process, the overall performance of the system is stable, and the diffusion of thermal runaway to adjacent units does not occur, and finally achieves natural extinction. The test process data is complete and traceable, which fully verifies the effectiveness of the structural safety and thermal management design of the system in extreme scenarios.
from testing to design: building a higher standard safety system
based on the analysis of test data and phenomena, Tianhe energy storage further expounds how to transform the experimental results into engineering design capabilities. Focusing on the optimization of material tolerance boundary, thermal runaway and flame propagation mechanism, as well as ventilation and pressure relief structure design, this “test-design” closed loop effectively improves the safety redundancy of the system under extreme conditions, and also provides support for the safety design in the actual project.
Build a high-security energy storage solution for the world
With the accelerated development of the global energy storage market, security is becoming the core foundation for the high-quality development of the industry. With Energy Storage Summit USA 2026, an international platform, TRW Energy Storage further demonstrated its comprehensive strength in safety testing and system design, and continued to consolidate its leading position in the global energy storage field.
Facing the future, TRW Energy Storage will continue to improve the safety and reliability of products and systems based on technological innovation and rigorous verification, and provide global customers with higher standards of energy storage solutions. Help the energy transformation steadily advance.
