What are the safety requirements for electrical energy storage systems?
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.
What is the scope of energy storage system standards?
The scope of the energy storage system standards includes both industrial large-scale energy storage systems as well as domestic energy storage systems. Appendix 1 includes a summary of applicable international standards for domestic battery energy storage systems (BESSs).
Why is safety important in energy storage systems?
Safety is fundamental to the development and design of energy storage systems. Each energy storage unit has multiple layers of prevention, protection and mitigation systems (detailed further in Section 4). These minimise the risk of overcharge, overheating or mechanical damage that could result in an incident such as a fire.
What are the requirements for energy storage systems?
The requirements for energy storage systems are found in article 706. Currently, the article applies to all permanently installed energy storage systems operating at over 50 V AC or 60 V DC that may be stand-alone or interactive with other electric power production sources.
