Prevalon Energy has recently achieved a significant milestone in the development of its HD5 energy storage platform, demonstrating the safety and reliability of its solutions in a rigorous testing environment.

The Testing Environment

The testing, conducted at a certified facility in accordance with CSA TS-8000, simulated a thermal runaway event in a fully functional HD5 unit.

• Four enclosures were configured in a standard back-to-back, side-to-side arrangement.
• The initiating unit was subjected to aggressive conditions to ensure full thermal propagation.

Results confirmed that the fire was fully contained within the initiating unit, with no impact on adjacent enclosures and all battery modules remaining below critical thermal thresholds.

Alejandro Schnakofsky, Chief Technical Officer at Prevalon Energy, responded to the testing: “Ensuring the safety and reliability of our energy storage systems is paramount. The completion of this rigorous testing validates our design approach and provides customers with confidence in the robustness of solutions.”

Tom Cornell, President and CEO of Prevalon Energy, added: “Safety and reliability are critical for energy storage. The completion of this LSFT is a true testament to the dedication of the team in delivering not only cutting-edge technology, but also peace of mind to customers.”

The HD5 Platform: Fire Mitigation Technologies

The HD5 Platform includes integrated fire mitigation technologies – enhanced thermal barriers and strategic component layout – designed to isolate and contain thermal events.

Key Features:

Enhanced thermal barriers

Strategic component layout

These systems align with the latest UL and NFPA safety standards, keeping customers ahead of evolving compliance requirements.

Reducing Noise Pollution

Prevalon is also tackling another key challenge: acoustics.
