Safe Handling of High Voltage Battery Systems
At the end of this seminar, participants should be able to:
- Understand the current lithium-ion cell behavior
- Recognize the major risks of handling HV batteries
- Replace fear of the risks with respect and understanding
- Structure a safety program to manage the risks
This training is mainly aimed at vehicle and battery engineers, battery system integration engineers, battery testing engineers, safety systems engineers, electrical engineers, and thermal management engineers who have recently taken on their roles or are returning to hybrid or electric vehicle programs. It will also be helpful for those involved in the specification, design, development, testing, and planning of hybrid vehicle programs. Prototype shop staff will find the safety protocol aspects particularly beneficial.
Module 1: HV Batteries
Module 2: Team Exercise: Identifying the Risks
Module 3: Hazards and Risks of HV Batteries
Module 4: Managing the Risks
Module 5: HV Issues in the Engineering and Manufacturing Environments
Module 6: NFPA 70E Introduction and Impact on Battery Operations
Module 7: Team Exercise: Dealing with an Incident
The battery system forms an essential part of any electric or hybrid vehicle and is probably the least understood. With practically no moving parts the battery systems show no visible or audible warning of any latent dangers. This training will introduce participants to the risks encountered in handling high voltage battery systems and their component parts. With the understanding of these risks, we will then address how to raise risk awareness and then methods of dealing with those risks.
The outcome from this course should be to minimize:
- Personal injury
- Embarrassment to the company and customers
- Waste of time and expensive prototypes
Students can participate in a real-world battery-handling case study scenario to identify solutions for potential risk situations.
The course content and structure are designed by the domain experts from TÜV SÜD. With immense experience and knowledge in the relevant standards, our team of product specialists and technical experts at TÜV SÜD, developed the course content based on current business landscape and market requirements.
