Join alumni and guests for a fireside chat on battery fire risk mitigation with Matthew Paiss, Battery Safety Advisor at Sandia National Laboratory. Fire and thermal risks associated with battery energy storage systems go well beyond chemistry and include packaging, housing, installation, and operational considerations. Matthew will share his deep experience and expertise to help shed light on ways to improve the longevity and safety of energy storage systems being deployed now and well into the future.
Matthew serves as the technical committee chair for NFPA 800, the Battery Safety Code designed to address all battery technologies across their entire lifecycle as well as a voting member on NFPA 855, which governs the installation and fire protection of stationary energy storage systems. Prior to his national lab career, Matthew was a Fire Captain in San Jose, California, where he served for over two decades.
