This course provides a comprehensive foundation in the construction, operation, hazards, and safe management of Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) across multiple modern applications. Participants will explore battery cell design, components, and electrochemical concepts, gaining a clear understanding of how lithium-ion cells function and how they fail. The course covers the role and operation of Battery Management Systems (BMS), including how these systems monitor performance, detect abnormalities, and prevent catastrophic failure.
Students will examine thermal and mechanical insults that can impact battery integrity, with a focus on failure modes, early warning indicators, and risk factors. The curriculum extends to Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), highlighting their uses, architecture, installation considerations, and associated fire protection strategies. Additional modules address LIBs in electric vehicles, emphasizing system layout, operational characteristics, and unique emergency considerations.
A key portion of the course focuses on lithium-ion battery hazards, including off-gassing, toxic and flammable vapors, contamination concerns, and environmental impacts. Participants will learn practical mitigation tools, tactics, and best practice procedures to safely respond to LIB incidents across a variety of scenarios. Upon completion, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills required to safely work with, assess, and respond to incidents involving lithium-ion battery technologies in both stationary and mobile applications.
