MUNICH, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trina Storage, the global leading energy storage product and solution provider, is pleased to announce the release of its highly anticipated White Paper on the Safety and Reliability of Energy Storage Systems, co-authored with TÜV NORD. This comprehensive document serves as a critical resource for industry stakeholders, addressing essential challenges and innovative solutions that ensure the safety and effectiveness of energy storage technologies worldwide.
Safety Challenges and Market Trends: Key Insights for the Industry
The white paper begins by analyzing the current landscape of energy storage systems, highlighting emerging market trends and application scenarios across generation, transmission, and demand sides. It emphasizes significant safety challenges, such as thermal runaway and electrical hazards, while outlining a framework for risk assessment and mitigation.
Product Safety: The Foundation of Energy Storage Systems
The safety of energy storage systems fundamentally relies on the safety of their constituent products. The white paper emphasizes that ensuring intrinsic battery safety is key to stable system operation. Beginning with electrochemical development, in-depth analysis of failure mechanisms enables the design of cells capable of withstanding extreme mechanical, electrical, and thermal stresses, thereby reducing risks of fire or explosion. Comprehensive safety testing, such as GB/T 36276, UL 1973, IEC 62619, and UL 9540A, further ensures cell stability and reliability under a wide range of conditions.
Additionally, the white paper highlights that electrical, structural, thermal management, and fire protection designs within energy storage products are critical to system safety. The design in these aspects should fully consider potential safety risks and take corresponding preventive measures to ensure the system remains stable under various extreme conditions.
Quality Control: Essential for System Reliability
Beyond product safety, quality control is a crucial factor in ensuring the reliability of energy storage systems. The white paper underscores that a comprehensive quality management system should encompass end-to-end oversight from R&D through production to after-sale support. In the R&D phase, rigorous simulations and testing protocols are recommended to preemptively address potential safety risks. During production and after-sales, strict process controls and robust monitoring ensure that quality standards are maintained and operational issues are promptly addressed.
Rigorous Testing and Validation: Ensuring Reliable System Safety
The ultimate assurance of safety and reliability in energy storage systems is achieved through stringent testing and validation. The white paper highlights essential safety tests, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive testing to identify risks and implement effective mitigation strategies. It also advocates for active third-party validation to further enhance safety, providing critical data for performance verification and continuous improvement.
"As the global demand for energy storage systems continues to surge, ensuring their safety and reliability has become a shared responsibility across the industry." said Dr. Kai Yang, Director of Advanced Institute for Energy Storage at Trina Storage. "At Trina Storage, we are committed to driving the energy transition forward in a safe and reliable manner, and we encourage all industry players to join us in raising the standards for energy storage safety."
Backed by a strong track record of delivering reliable energy storage solutions, Trina Storage continues to demonstrate its commitment to excellence through the advanced designs and robust safety features of its products, ensuring top-tier performance in real-world applications.

Trina Storage and TÜV NORD Release Comprehensive White Paper on Safety and Reliability in Energy Storage Systems
An array of panel sessions, masterclasses, curated timepiece showcase and in-depth interviews connects the horological community
HONG KONG, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A pivotal platform within the horology industry, the 10th edition of Horology Forum ('HF.10') by Dubai Watch Week made its Hong Kong debut at Christie's in The Henderson from 22nd to 24th October. As part of the travelling editions, the programme embarked on its first-ever venture into Asia starting in Hong Kong, the centre of the region's luxury watch industry.
HF.10 made its mark in Asia as it drew a significant turnout of industry leaders, watch collectors and business professionals, along with esteemed media from Hong Kong, China and the Asia-Pacific region, sparking engaging discussions about horology and related industries. The forum represents an integral component of Dubai Watch Week's mission to connect horology enthusiasts through curating bespoke programmes that foster education, networking and community building. While passion towards horology grows as the platform further evolves, Dubai Watch Week is set to return on 19th to 23rd November at Dubai Mall, Burj Park.
HF.10 also exclusively introduced a special session featuring a new initiative: the "Dubai Watch Week x Grail Watch Design Competition" that invites individuals from around the world to submit entries for timepieces, creating a programme to recruit global talents and turn their visions into reality. Determined by a renowned panel of judges, including Hind Seddiqi; Mohammed Abdulmagied Seddiqi, CEO of Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons; Jérôme Biard, CEO and Co-founder of Roventa-Henex; and Wei Koh, Founder of Revolution and Grail Watch. In the same session, a timepiece of Alterum Worldtimer created by Justin Walters was launched – it represents the vision of the platform that celebrates sophisticated watch design at its finest, to pioneer the "Dubai Watch Week x Grail Watch Design Competition". The competition is open for public for submission here, the winner will be announced at Dubai Watch Week 2025. It is now open for submissions until 31st December 2024.
Spanning across three days, HF.10 featured an array of panel discussions, in-person masterclasses and a timepiece display that ignited open and lively conversations and facilitated insightful engagement. All elements of the programme were curated to explore the evolution of horology while reimagining the boundaries of watchmaking and the luxury industry.
Panel sessions
Horology Forum is known to invite renowned speakers in the industry to share their valuable insights. Among the key panels, HF.10 introduced the first-ever relay format titled "The Watch Industry Starter Pack: How to build a watch brand in 60 mins", focused on the branding, design and marketing of a new watch brand under the vision of Suzanne Wong, Fiona Krüger and Bertrand Meylan, moderated by Wei Koh, Founder of Revolution. Besides, Robin Swithinbank, a Journalist and Author also moderated a panel session of "Perpetual Puzzles: Is the age of mechanical innovation over?" alongside with speakers Nicholas Biebuyck, Pim Koeslang, and Jiaxian Su, known as Heritage Director of TAG Heuer, Owner & CEO, Christiaan van der Klaauw, and Founder of SJX Watches respectively, collectively discussed the era of mechanical innovation and the future of the watch industry.
