"Let-It-Burn" is not an Effective Fire Suppression Solution for Battery Energy Storage Systems

The standards are not crystal clear and have left some with the impression that it is acceptable just to let a BESS fire burn itself out-the "let-it-burn" method-without providing any fire suppression measures.

Fire Suppression in Battery Energy Storage Systems

Any time a large amount of energy is squeezed into a tight space, there is a risk that it will escape in an uncontrolled manner. When this happens, fire is a common result and explosions are possible.

Busting EV myths - Breaking down the biggest misconceptions surrounding EVs

With more than a quarter of a million new electric car registrations last year, uptake of EVs is definitely on the increase. More than one in five of us expect to be driving an EV within the next five-to-ten years.

Photo Chemical Etching Gives Manufacturers the Edge in Electric Vehicle Production

Reduction of weight is an essential part of the EV revolution, a goal which can be achieved through etching, suitable applications including alkaline battery connectors and busbars.

How to Spot Failing Equipment Before It Kills Off-Grid Energy Storage Systems

Two homes have identical batteries, identical solar and wind systems, identical appliances and usage patterns, and the same owner: you. But one home's batteries died in the first year - and the other system will last another decade.

The Lessons and Limitations of the Lithium-Ion Battery

Lithium-ion (Ii-ion) batteries have been the go-to for clean energy technology thus far thanks to their energy density, but they're not a perfect solution.

Have Scientists Unlocked Better Energy Storage in Water-Based Batteries?

A team found that water-based batteries had a 1,000 times greater storage capacity than others. Texas A&M University researchers discovered that difference when working with metal-free products that rely on aqueous energy storage.

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer

HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
