Beyond Single-Level Testing: A New Approach to Energy Storage Safety

In commercial and industrial environments such as shopping malls, office buildings, hotels, and factories, energy storage systems are often installed in high-density spaces where people, equipment, and valuable assets coexist. Given these scenarios, safety requirements extend far beyond basic compliance. The fundamental challenge in battery safety is not simply responding to fire incidents, but preventing thermal runaway propagation before risks escalate.

UL 9540A is widely recognized as the global benchmark for evaluating thermal runaway risks in energy storage systems. However, current industry practice typically focuses on single-tier testing, either by validating cell-level parameters alone or by demonstrating compliance only at the module or system level. Such fragmented testing cannot fully demonstrate whether every safety barrier within a system can contain potential risks.

PowerKeeper addresses this challenge through a comprehensive triple-layer safety validation approach.

Building a Complete Safety Evidence Chain

Through its cell-module-unit triple UL 9540A certification, PowerKeeper establishes a complete safety validation chain across three system layers:

  • Cell-level testing captures critical thermal runaway parameters.
  • Module-level testing verifies that thermal runaway can be contained within the battery module.
  • Unit-level testing demonstrates effective thermal isolation between adjacent cabinets and surrounding structures.

These interconnected layers of validation assures that PowerKeeper can maintain system integrity even under extreme conditions.

Validated Under Real Installation Constraints

Commercial and industrial sites often have limited installation space, requiring energy storage systems to be placed close to walls or adjacent to other cabinets. PowerKeeper enables seamless, space-efficient installation, adapting effortlessly to diverse and complex site conditions.The test simulates real-world installation scenarios, with clearances set at just 25 mm from walls and 450 mm between cabinets.

–     Unit-level test

The triggered battery cell reached a peak temperature of 595.2°C. Even under such extreme conditions, PowerKeeper demonstrated exceptional containment capability.

  • No Impact on Adjacent Cabinets

Despite a unit spacing of only 450 mm, the neighboring unit recorded a maximum surface temperature of 13.7°C, far below the 141.3°C threshold defined by UL 9540A.

  • Safe Operation with Minimal Wall Clearance

At a wall clearance of just 25 mm, the temperature rise on the wall surface was merely 29°C , significantly below the 97°C limit specified by the standard.

–     Module-Level: Precision Mitigation

In the module-level test, thermal runaway was intentionally triggered in three cells. The results were conclusive: no combustion, no explosion, and zero external debris or splashing. This confirms that any potential hazards are strictly contained within the PACK, even under triggered conditions.

–     Cell-Level: Control at the Source

The cell’s explosion-proof valve activated instantly, successfully releasing pressure and preventing any combustion or explosion, while capturing the precise thermal runaway trigger temperature of 216.3°C during cell-level testing.

These results confirm that PowerKeeper can safely operate even in space-constrained environments, effectively containing potential risks within tightly controlled boundaries.

From Passive Protection to Intelligent Safety

While UL 9540A certification validates PowerKeeper’s passive safety performance under extreme conditions, Sungrow has also integrated advanced active safety mechanisms to protect everyday operation.

Aligned with the PowerKeeper “7 Ups” safety concept, the system incorporates:

  • 5D alerts (current, voltage, smoke, full-stack temperature monitoring, and water immersion detection)
  • Triple-guard protection across cell, pack, and plant levels

Together, these features establish a comprehensive cell-to-plant safety architecture, enabling early risk detection, precise warning, and rapid intervention during daily operation.

Setting a New Safety Benchmark for C&I Energy Storage

The successful completion of cell-module-unit UL 9540A test for PowerKeeper not only provides authoritative validation of the system’s safety performance, but also marks a significant step forward in advancing system-level safety standards for the global C&I energy storage market.

As the demand for commercial and industrial energy storage accelerates worldwide, Sungrow remains committed to delivering safe, reliable, and intelligent energy solutions, empowering businesses to transition toward a more sustainable energy future with confidence.

Forests Without Names: Hyundai Motor Brings the World’s Hidden Sea Forests Into the Light

  • Hyundai Motor initiates global naming of sea forests across Korea, Argentina and Australia
  • Campaign highlights the climate value of marine ecosystems through naming and identity-building during Earth Month
  • Dedicated website and mapping registrations aim to build global awareness and data access
  • Ongoing marine conservation includes Ulsan sea forest restoration projects conducted in partnership with Korean government agencies

SEOUL, South Korea , April 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Motor Company today announced the global launch of its ‘Forests Without Names’ campaign, an initiative that celebrates Earth Month this April by naming sea forests worldwide while highlighting their environmental importance.

Forests Without Names - Hyundai Motor Brings the World’s Hidden Sea Forests Into the Light
Forests Without Names – Hyundai Motor Brings the World’s Hidden Sea Forests Into the Light

The campaign aims to increase awareness of these often overlooked underwater ecosystems and reinforce Hyundai Motor’s long-term marine conservation efforts, including seaweed-based sea forest restoration off the coast of Ulsan, South Korea, and marine waste cleanup projects spanning 10 countries.

“Hyundai Motor Company has been committed to forest conservation across both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Through the ‘Forests Without Names’ campaign, we are pleased to shed light on sea forests and highlight their ecological value and the importance of protecting our marine environments. We are especially proud to bring this story to life creatively — sparking curiosity about what has long gone unnoticed, and inspiring people to care about what they now know by name. We will continue to advance our sustainability efforts in pursuit of a more environmentally responsible future.”
 – Hyunchul Jeon, Head of Future Business & Sustainability Group at Hyundai Motor Company

What Are Sea Forests and Why Do They Matter?

Sea forests are underwater ecosystems formed by dense marine algae such as kelp and seaweed. Like terrestrial forests, they provide habitats, filter marine pollutants and support coastal biodiversity.

Global scientific and policy interest in seaweed’s climate value increased in 2025, as discussions at the IPCC’s 63rd Session in Lima highlighted the need to explore methodological pathways for including seaweed in future carbon accounting frameworks.

Why Is Hyundai Naming Sea Forests?

Unlike iconic terrestrial forests, many sea forests have no formal names — anonymity that limits their visibility and the protection they receive. The campaign addresses this fundamental gap by giving these ecosystems clear identities.

Finalized names will be added to the campaign’s Sea Forest Map, which Hyundai Motor ultimately aims to integrate with widely used global mapping platforms and leading Korean platforms including Kakao Map. Hyundai Motor brings the public directly into the process through open voting — driving a shift in environmental communication from awareness alone toward recognition, documentation and long-term protection.

How Does the ‘Forests Without Names’ Campaign Work?

The campaign builds on Hyundai Motor’s earlier environmental storytelling initiatives, including the Cannes Lions-winning ‘Tree Correspondents’ campaign in 2025, which used artificial intelligence (AI) to give trees a voice and spotlight the importance of forest conservation.

This new initiative expands Hyundai Motor’s sustainability focus from land ecosystems to marine environments through three main actions:

  • Naming three sea forests worldwide:
    • Korea: One of the two restored sea forests in Ulsan is officially named “Ullim” — a Korean word evoking resonance or an echo — through a formal naming process conducted in close collaboration with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and the Korea Fisheries Resources Agency (FIRA).
    • Argentina: Hyundai has designated an official sea forest name “Auken Aiken” meaning “Field of Life” in the local indigenous language through a partnership with a local NGO specialized in marine conservation and community groups.
    • Australia: The final name will be determined through a public voting process conducted via Hyundai Motor’s global social channels and campaign website, with shortlisted candidates selected jointly with local NGOs and community groups.
  • Registering these sites on a dedicated campaign website and mapping platform such as ‘Kakao Map’, with the ambition to expand to global platforms
  • Working closely with the Korean government, NGOs and local communities to ensure scientific credibility and long-term conservation outcomes

The dedicated campaign website will evolve into a global Sea Forest Data Hub, archiving verified information such as location, ecosystem characteristics, and restoration activities. By making this data publicly accessible, Hyundai aims to build one of the world’s most comprehensive open databases on underwater forests.

What Will Happen During Earth Month?

Key milestones include:

  • April 3
    • Release of teaser campaign video and open campaign website
    • Announcement of sea forest names in Korea and Argentina, alongside public voting in Australia
  • April 22 (Earth Day): Release of main campaign film and announcement of Australia’s final sea forest name

Finalized names will be added to the campaign’s Sea Forest Map, with the goal of registering these sea forests on global mapping platforms in the future.

How Does This Connect to Hyundai Motor’s Broader Marine Conservation Work?

The naming initiative is part of Hyundai Motor’s longer-term environmental strategy rather than a standalone campaign.

Hyundai Motor has been restoring seaweed forests in Ulsan since 2024 under agreements with Korea’s Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, the Korea Fisheries Resources Agency and Ulsan Metropolitan City. The project spans approximately 3.96 square kilometers and is expected to offset about 1,300 tons of CO₂ annually through carbon absorption and ecosystem restoration, through methods including seaweed transplantation, spore dispersal, artificial underwater longline installations, local species reproduction support and seabed cleanup.

Meanwhile, since 2021, the company has conducted marine waste collection projects in partnership with the Healthy Seas foundation across Europe, Korea and the United States. These efforts have resulted in the removal of approximately 320 tons of marine debris, including discarded fishing nets later recycled into ECONYL® nylon fiber used in vehicle materials such as floor mats for IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, IONIQ 9, INSTER, SANTA FE and NEXO models sold in Europe.

Hyundai Motor aims to support ecosystem recovery and realize potential climate mitigation benefits through these initiatives.

The study was expanded this quarter to include additional U.S. sites to accelerate recruitment. 
  • TLX597-Tx (177Lu-DOTA-HYNIC-panPSMA): TLX597-Tx is a “next generation” PSMA-targeting prostate cancer therapy candidate being developed to facilitate patient access in select geographies, where routine clinical availability to approved therapies is limited or not available. Early clinical data suggests a favorable asset biodistribution with limited uptake in healthy organs of concern (e.g., salivary glands, kidneys) relative to available 177Lu-PSMA therapies. Interim data from OPTIMAL-PSMA[16], an investigator-led, randomized, dose intensification study of TLX597-Tx in mCRPC, will be presented at the International Prostate Cancer Symposium in April 2026.

PSMA imaging portfolio:

  • Telix continues to expand its commercial footprint with Illuccix now launched in 21 countries globally, which includes 16 countries in Europe. This growing international presence enhances access to PSMA-PET/CT imaging[17] while establishing a scalable commercial and operational platform to support future product launches, including follow-on therapeutic products.
  • Telix’s broad proposed label for TLX591-Px (Illuccix) is under review by the NMPA Centre for Drug Evaluation as part of the NDA submission[18].

TLX101-Px, (Floretyrosine F 18 or 18F-FET):

  • Telix has resubmitted its NDA in the U.S. with the additional clinical data and analysis as agreed with the FDA.
  • Telix has submitted a MAA in Europe covering commercially significant markets, seeking to expand patient access to advanced brain imaging.

Zircaix®3 (TLX250-Px, 89Zr-DFO-girentuximab):

  • Based on two successful Type A meetings with the FDA, Telix believes it has aligned on key outstanding issues for the Biologics License Application (BLA) resubmission, including demonstration of drug product comparability between clinical trial material and scale-up commercial production. The Company is now completing the agreed deliverables and documentation required, targeting a H1 2026 submission.

Corporate Updates

Telix has announced the appointment of David Gill as Non-Executive Director (NED), effective May 11, 2026, as part of its Board renewal process[19].
