6 FAQs about [Energy storage system safety test]

Are batteries for stationary battery energy storage systems safe?

Batteries for stationary battery energy storage systems (SBESS), which have not been covered by any European safety regulation so far, will have to comply with a number of safety tests. A standardisation request was submitted to CEN/CENELEC to develop one or more harmonised standards that lay out the minimum safety requirements for SBESS.

Should energy storage safety test information be disseminated?

Another long-term benefit of disseminating safety test information could be baselining minimum safety metrics related to gas evolution and related risk limits for creation of a pass/fail criteria for energy storage safety testing and certification processes, including UL 9540A.

Why is safety important for energy storage systems?

Since the beginning of energy storage system adoption, safety has remained a key pillar in the evolution of systems. We have seen the technology around residential ESS evolve and adapt to accommodate applications throughout various environments and installations.

What NFPA standards are used for energy storage system testing?

Testing to standards, such as NFPA 70, NFPA 855, and IEC 62619, can affirm system and component safety and increase market acceptance. Discover how TÜV SÜD provides a single-source solution for energy storage system (ESS) testing and certification ESS producers, suppliers, and end users.

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 are electrical energy storage (EES) parameters & testing methods?

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.
