Fundamentals of High Voltage xEV, Safety, and PPE

2024-06-20
Do you know what personal protective equipment (PPE), tools, and instruments are needed to keep you safe around high voltage (HV) vehicles? Are you aware of how to protect yourself or your employees when working around high voltage systems and platforms? Safety is paramount when working around any type of high voltage. As electric vehicles (EV) and EV fleets become more prevalent, the critical need for OEMs, suppliers, companies, and organizations to provide comprehensive safety training for teams working with or around xEV systems and platforms increases.

Forensic Analysis of Lithium-Ion Cells Involved in Fires

2024-02-14
Abstract The emerging use of rechargeable batteries in electric and hybrid electric vehicles and distributed energy systems, and accidental fires involving batteries, has heightened the need for a methodology to determine the root cause of the fire. When a fire involving batteries takes place, investigators and engineers need to ascertain the role of batteries in that fire. Just as with fire in general, investigators need a framework for determining the role that is systematic, reliant on collection and careful analysis of forensic evidence, and based on the scientific method of inquiry. This article presents a systematic scientific process to analyze batteries that have been involved in a fire. It involves examining Li-ion cells of varying construction, using a systematic process that includes visual inspection, x-ray, CT scan, and possibly elemental analysis and testing of exemplars.

Innovative Insulation System Design and Partial Discharge Detection to Optimize Resilience of Electrical Transportation Assets

2023-09-05
2023-01-1516
Partial discharge (PD) detection has been always a fundamental tool, potentially, for the design, quality control, commissioning, and reliability monitoring for the of insulation systems. The word “potentially” stems from the objective consideration of the intrinsic limitations suffered by the existing partial discharge, PD, measurement technologies, especially the need of experts to interpret results and the lack of clear correlation between PD-related quantities, and the condition-based maintenance approach. On the whole, a thorough revision of insulation systems design procedures and of the tools to evaluate aging and failure risk is needed, especially in components of electrical assets which are critical in terms of reliability, resilience, and safety.
