NYIT College of Engineering and Computing Sciences is pleased to welcome Laurie Florence, Principal Engineer for Stationary and Motive Batteries, ESS, and Fuel Cells at UL LLC, who will present on “Battery Energy Storage Systems – The State of Safety.”
Battery energy storage systems are a necessity for renewable energy installations and other parts of the grid. Many of these systems are relying on lithium-ion batteries as their energy storage technology. Florence will explain what is being done to address the safety of these devices, whether they are for utility, commercial/industrial, or residential applications.
