Electrical energy storage (EES) systems - Part 5-3. Safety requirements for electrochemical based EES systems considering initially non-anticipated modifications, partial replacement, changing application, relocation and loading reused battery.
We conduct custom research to help identify and address the unique performance and safety issues associated with large energy storage systems. Research offerings include: UL can test your large energy storage systems (ESS) based on UL 9540 and provide ESS certification to help identify the safety and performance of your system.
The Standard covers a comprehensive review of energy storage systems, covering charging and discharging, protection, control, communication between devices, fluids movement and other aspects.
As the industry for battery energy storage systems (BESS) has grown, a broad range of H&S related standards have been developed. There are national and international standards, those adopted by the British Standards Institution (BSI) or published by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), CENELEC, ISO, etc.
Electrical energy storage (EES) systems. Part 2-1: Unit parameters and testing methods - General specification. This formally defines EESS parameters such as active and reactive power, round trip efficiency, expected service life etc., and formally sets out how to verify these parameters in testing.
From a safety perspective, consideration should be given to the nature of surrounding sites and the potential for increased risk if hazards such as fire were to propagate from one site to the other (particularly where those sites also have an elevated fire risk). Co-locating energy storage with energy generation is becoming increasingly common.
