Service and Battery Safety Take Center Stage at The Smarter E Europe Conferences 2025

AI outlines the transformative impact of artificial intelligence across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and customer service. In healthcare, AI enhances diagnostics by accurately analyzing medical images to assist in early disease detection. The financial sector benefits through advanced fraud detection systems that identify anomalies in transaction patterns. Customer service has been revolutionized with chatbots utilizing natural language processing (NLP) for instant responses and improved interactions over time. Ethical considerations such as data privacy and algorithmic bias are also discussed, emphasizing the need for responsible technology use. During The smarter E Europe Conferences 2025 Q&A session, experts explored methods to manage battery failures and thermal runaway incidents using deflagration panels or emergency ventilation systems per NFPA guidelines. Discussions included best practices for firefighting water storage systems like dry pipes; direct water injection is generally discouraged in favor of defensive strategies used by companies like Huawei. Training firefighters to let fires burn out naturally was highlighted but deemed unsuitable for indoor installations without specific strategies. Advancements were noted in cell-level control technologies predicting potential issues related to thermal runaways by isolating problematic cells early on. Challenges regarding grid code compliance across countries were addressed alongside cybersecurity concerns linked with cloud-based Battery Management Systems (BMS). A novel system involving AC voltage generation from battery cells plus BMS offers operational cost advantages compared to traditional solutions while being tested extensively despite competition from low-cost imports.
