RISE Research Institutes of Sweden is Sweden's state-owned research institute. Together with industry, academia and the public sector, RISE drives innovation that strengthens competitiveness and contributes to a sustainable society. RISE offers applied research, testing and certification, and runs test and demonstration facilities across Sweden, including large fire and battery safety laboratories.
RISE leads Work Package 5, Thermal Runaway Modelling & Safety. RISE develops models of how thermal runaway starts in battery cells and spreads through modules, including gas venting and fire, and builds a library of thermal runaway parameters for battery cells, including aged cells. RISE also speeds up these simulations with reduced-order and AI-based models, giving a fast tool for battery safety predictions. The results help industry and authorities judge when virtual testing can replace destructive thermal runaway tests.
