Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

This paper proposed a risk assessment model via the DEMATEL-ANP method, which can analyze the impact and complex relationships of risk influencing factors. The proposed model found critical risk factors during the battery pack production process. 

dual-polarization battery model considering ambient temperature compensation for estimating SOC and SOH. The accuracy of the model is verified and tested. The method and design are well presented. This manuscript could be published in this journal after minor revision. 

  

  

1. As the novelty/originality has been justified by highlighting that the manuscript contains sufficient contributions to the new body of knowledge compared to previous works, the literature review should be enhanced further. The previous related research of the safety risk evaluation should be summarized clearly in this section. The current literature is a bit old, so some recent works should be considered.  

   

2. Please further explain how the decision criteria are working. i.e., for Table 1, how to define the influence among factors? Same as Table 2, how to define the importance? 

 

3. What is Section 3.1.1 on Page 8? 

   

4. The title of Table 9 should be added. 

   

5. For Section 4, many rules or decisions are directly provided. Further explanation should be added to elaborate the model application.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

1.The literature review mentions various studies employing different risk assessment methods but does not critically analyze or compare these methods against DEMATEL-ANP.

2. Provide a more detailed analysis of the identified risk factors, discussing their practical implications in the battery production environment.

3.Elaborate on the limitations section by discussing how the static nature of DEMATEL-ANP might affect the adaptability of the risk assessment in dynamic production environments.

Comments on the Quality of English Language

The English could be improved to more clearly express the research.

Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

It is an interesting paper because 2 (mathematical) methods are used to assess the fire safety risk. Finally, the results of the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method are compared with the hybrid method.

This comparison should ultimately be used to carry out an error analysis or uncertainty analysis of the two methods. The risk assessments contain an uncertainty and this should be attempted to be estimated by comparing the methods.

Small editorial comments:

From line 65 to 84 there is a different line spacing than in the previous part.

Table 1: Numeric value 3: have a bit more influence

L 175, Eq. (10): λmax  is not defined

L218 Subsu  should deleted

Fig. 4 and Fig. 5: Write environmental

L311: correct liAccording

L408: Correct it
