Fire Safety (detection and prevention) and Risk Management
- Durrel ensures that every single item in the BOM complies to safety and reliability standards as per various IEC, ISO, UL, OSHA standards, post manufacturing and during deployment and entire operational life cycle.
- Ensure Safety management during transportation (handling batteries using standard protective casing that prevents fall and reduce vibrations), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Report and hazardous location audits before installation and commissioning
- We supply air cooling (HVAC) or liquid cooling (water or glycol) solutions for thermal management and regulating high ambient temperature
- Ensure special considerations for enclosure design of BESS to prevent deflagration and Fire Safety cabinets specifically designed for storage and transport
Digital Safety Net
- Durrel is the best in the industry to procure best first level digital safety net with the use of fuses, circuit breakers, surge protectors, phase loss protector, earth fault detector, fire suppression systems, early detection sensors and warning systems, emergency shutdown logic for anomaly detection to protect from overload, short circuit, transient over voltage, over / under voltage, deflagration and thermal runaway
- We provide solutions with the host of sensors spread all across the renewable energy production, storage and distribution infrastructure connected to the Edge intelligence and IoT servers, provision early detection and intervention to mitigate any risks associated with fire, explosion and other hazards. The monitoring infrastructure include temperature and humidity sensor, thermal sensor, VOC gas air quality sensor, atmospheric corrosion sensor, PM sensor, water and dust ingress sensor, H2 sensor, acid leak sensor, door contact sensor, shock and vibration sensor, lux sensor, power quality sensor, power failure sensor, earth ground monitoring sensor, thermal imaging detectors and host of many others
- Our solution system communicating through Modbus TCP, SNMP, RS485 or MQTT connectivity protocols, ensures seamless compatibility, backward and forward integration and synergistic operation with existing and new infrastructure in a modular manner, including Substation, Switchgear, Transformer, BESS, Electrical Panel, Solar panels, Virtual Power Plant - Microgrid, Smart Grid, V2G-V2L and other DER
- Battery Management System plays a major role with top notch algorithms to accurately measure SoC, SoH and DoD, perform active and passive balancing and equalization, reverse protection, monitor and control at cell, module and rack level, control and management of voltage and current during charging and discharging cycles and other functions
- Equipping the site with active (sprinklers, extinguishers, automatic doors, vents and fans to lower gas concentration and pressure) and passive fire safety systems (ventilation, fire proof walls, floors and ceilings) as per UL 9540A and NFPA 855 Standards and Fire codes
- Policies and SOP for Periodical inspection of cells and batteries for any deformations, replacement and disposal. Ensuring cell consistency through cell selection and screening to ensure performance parameters of all cells in the pack are closely aligned, implement active balance charging to precisely control that every cell reach the same state of charge and periodic monitoring of voltage, capacity and internal resistance to eliminate inconsistence and replacements
