Elevating Safety Standards in Energy Storage
In a significant collaboration,
Sigenergy, a prominent energy innovator, has partnered with
Intertek, a leader in Total Quality Assurance, to publish a comprehensive white paper titled
Comprehensive Safety Protection for CI Energy Storage Systems. This pivotal document aims to improve safety measures surrounding commercial and industrial energy storage systems, providing essential insights into current practices and technologies.
Highlights of the White Paper
The white paper was unveiled at the
Intersolar Europe 2025 event by Samuel Zhang, Chief Technology Officer of Sigenergy, and Klaus Herrmann, Global Certifier from Intertek. Their joint efforts highlight the urgency for enhanced safety regulations in energy storage systems, particularly as the world rapidly shifts towards cleaner energy solutions.
As the demand for efficient energy management rises, the potential risks associated with energy storage technology have become increasingly apparent. This collaborative initiative targets these concerns, offering a consolidated reference for the industry to ensure safe deployment and operation of energy systems.
Key Security Challenges Addressed
The white paper zeroes in on critical safety issues such as thermal runaway incidents, fire mitigation strategies, and the complexities inherent in energy storage systems. Leveraging technical insights from the
SigenStack platform developed by Sigenergy, the document outlines strategies to balance safety, flexibility, and operational efficiency within storage solutions.
The
SigenStack has undergone rigorous testing under recognized international standards, including
UL 9540A,
IEC 62619, and
GB/T 36276. Notably, test results indicate that this innovative system maintains structural integrity under extreme conditions while achieving operational efficiency exceeding 95%. These findings are pivotal for enforcing best practices in the industry, advancing overall security protocols.
Commitment to Safety and Innovation
Samuel Zhang stated, “At Sigenergy, we believe that safety and innovation must go hand in hand. Through our collaboration with Intertek, we are proud to contribute to developing high-integrity safety standards that support the transition towards smarter and more sustainable energy systems globally.”
Klaus Herrmann echoed this sentiment, saying, “The release of this white paper represents a key milestone in our shared commitment to advancing safety in the energy storage sector. As a global leader in quality assurance, Intertek is dedicated to fostering innovation through stringent testing and certification processes.”
Conclusion
The collaborative white paper from Sigenergy and Intertek not only sheds light on vital safety protocols but also serves as a roadmap for future advancements in energy storage systems. As stakeholders within the industry adopt these recommendations, the aim is to cultivate a safer, more sustainable future for energy management across various sectors.
