What are the different types of energy storage standards?

More generic standards tend to focus on risks common to different storage types (e.g. electric shock) as well as specific risks for mature technologies. These standards include the IET code of practice for electrical energy storage systems and the recently released IEC-62933-5-2 which is specific to electrochemical storage systems.

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.

Does industry need energy storage standards?

As cited in the DOE OE ES Program Plan, “Industry requires specifications of standards for characterizing the performance of energy storage under grid conditions and for modeling behavior. Discussions with industry professionals indicate a significant need for standards …” [1, p. 30].

What are the IET standards for electrochemical storage systems?

These standards include the IET code of practice for electrical energy storage systems and the recently released IEC-62933-5-2 which is specific to electrochemical storage systems. Our analysis of the hazards of different storage systems shows that different technologies pose significantly different hazards.

What are international standards for energy storage?

Internationally developed standards are often mirrored by the BSI in the UK and so become UK standards. They form the bulk of the technical standards related to energy storage. They are developed through relevant working groups in organisations such as the IEC, CENELEC, or ISO and present international consensus on what standards should apply.

Is there a consensus on energy storage standards?

It can be difficult to reach consensus for standards creation in industry sectors which are rapidly developing, as is the case with some energy storage technologies, as knowledge and best practice are not yet established.
