Zusammenfassung

The thermal runaway of lithium batteries is an outstanding example for an extreme event in a complex technical system. Thermal runaway refers to the ignition or explosion of a battery as consequence of a self-accelerating heating process that is initiated by stochastically occurring internal or external triggers. The corresponding safety problems are today a major factor impeding the introduction of lithium batteries for electromobility or storage of energy from sustainable sources. The objective of the present study is to understand, predict and control thermal runaway in lithium batt...
