Hazard Dynamics provides technical consulting to mitigate the cascading risks of catastrophic thermal runaway in battery UPS and power systems. We model battery fire, explosion and toxicity hazards within data centers using state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to simulate battery failures. We use these models to inform efficient and effective measures to prevent thermal runaway, mitigate fires and provide reliable explosion control. In addition to fire modeling, deflagration modeling and plume modeling we also provide permitting support, emergency response planning and hazard mitigation analysis (HMA) for data centers.

The massive increase of battery inventory within warehouses introduces new fire and explosion risks. Hazard Dynamics delivers comprehensive safety modeling that analyzes thermal runaway propagation across densely packed racks, specialized shipping containers, and palletized storage configurations. We provide modeling and analysis to help building owners, engineers and contractors mitigate risks so that their facilities reduce risk and cost and meet local fire codes and their newer provisions on battery storage.

Battery thermal runaway hazards exist not only at battery factories but also at any manufacturer that uses batteries in their products or their tools. We are experts on battery thermal runaway hazards and mitigation techniques. We provide modeling and analysis to mitigate risks so that facilities minimize downtime, reduce risk and meet local fire codes. We help our customers design safer factories and train their workers on battery system hazards.

Hazard Dynamics partners with product developers to simulate internal battery failures within tightly sealed enclosures for hardware ranging from medical devices and smartphones to power tools and micromobility fleets. Utilizing micro-scale thermal modeling and multi-physics simulations, we characterize internal pressure build-up, vent-port dynamics, and structural casing stresses during a thermal event, empowering engineering teams to optimize localized heat sinks, design fail-safe venting pathways, and validate internal structural boundaries to completely prevent external flame egress and case rupture before physical prototyping begins.
