Prevalon Energy completed Large-Scale Fire Testing (LSFT) of its HD5 energy storage enclosure—demonstrating robust fire containment under extreme conditions. The HD5 Platform includes integrated fire mitigation technologies such as enhanced thermal barriers and a strategic component layout designed to isolate and contain thermal events.

“Ensuring the safety and reliability of our energy storage systems is paramount,” said Alejandro Schnakofsky, Chief Technical Officer at Prevalon Energy. “The successful completion of this rigorous testing validates our design approach and provides our customers with confidence in the robustness of our solutions.”

Prevalon LSFT testing

The test, conducted at a certified facility in accordance with CSA TS-800, simulated a thermal runaway event in a fully functional HD5 unit. Four enclosures were configured in a standard back-to-back, side-to-side arrangement. The initiating unit was subjected to aggressive conditions to ensure full thermal propagation. Results confirmed that the fire was fully contained within the initiating unit, with no impact on adjacent enclosures and all battery modules remaining below critical thermal thresholds.

HD5 focused on safety and acoustics

Prevalon is also tackling another key challenge: acoustics. The company is developing low-noise solutions to meet strict community sound regulations—making the HD5™ not just safer, but quieter and more adaptable to urban and suburban environments. This milestone was achieved in partnership with one of Prevalon’s contract manufacturers, Clou.
