Industrial & Commercial Energy Storage Security White Paper

This white paper, jointly presented by SIG New Energy and Intertek Tianxiang Group, addresses the critical safety challenges in the rapidly growing commercial and industrial energy storage (C&I ESS) sector. It highlights the core driving forces behind industry expansion, including cost reduction, grid stability, and carbon neutrality goals, while emphasizing the persistent safety risks such as battery thermal runaway, electrical hazards, and design complexities. The document reviews recent explosion incidents and analyzes limitations of traditional cabinet solutions, battery designs, and cloud platforms. It introduces SIG's comprehensive modular solution, covering cell-level, pack-level, and system-level safety protections, alongside advanced cloud platform monitoring. The paper underscores the importance of rigorous safety testing and compliance with international standards to ensure reliable operation. By addressing these security concerns, the industry can foster trust and accelerate adoption, paving the way for sustainable energy transformation.
