This session explores key challenges beyond initial performance. The Presentations will highlight real-world case studies on BMS limitations, insurance perspectives on risk mitigation, and the evolving role of manufacturers in ensuring safety and sustainability. Attendees will gain insights into BESS risk management, enabling them to optimize system performance and ensure regulatory alignment.
