Rimac Energy Unveils Advanced Safety Optimization for Stationary Storage Solutions, Highlighting Modular Multi-Level Converter Technology and Robust Mitigation Measures"

Nasrin Shahed Khah from Rimac Energy presents an overview of the company's journey and focus on safety optimization in stationary storage solutions. She starts by discussing Rimac's history, highlighting its origins 15 years ago when their CEO converted a BMW to an electric race car. Since then, they have grown into a tier-one battery supplier for major OEMs like BMW and collaborated with Porsche to develop next-generation hypercars. Rimac has expanded into the ESS (Energy Storage System) market, designing integrated and scalable storage solutions that eliminate centralized inverters using modular multi-level control technology. Emphasizing safety is paramount; hence extensive measures are implemented at various levels—cell, module, rack, stack—to ensure robustness against failures and risks such as fires or explosions. Key strategies include advanced algorithms for real-time monitoring and detection of anomalies, maintaining uniform temperature across modules, hardware protections at multiple levels, fire-resistant housing with comprehensive detection systems, and system redundancy that enhances resilience against single-point failures. The presentation concludes by summarizing these vital approaches: early anomaly detection via algorithms, robust mitigation measures throughout design stages, and ensuring system redundancy through modular converters.
