Others by the committee include IEC 63330-1 (general requirements for repurposing of secondary cells, modules, battery packs and battery systems), IEC 62933-4-4 (environmental requirements for battery-based energy storage systems (BESS) with reused batteries) and IEC 62933-5-3 (safety requirements for grid-integrated EES systems).

What types of batteries can be used in a battery storage system?

Abstract: Application of this standard includes: (1) Stationary battery energy storage system (BESS) and mobile BESS; (2) Carrier of BESS, including but not limited to lead acid battery, lithiumion battery, flow battery, and sodium-sulfur battery; (3) BESS used in electric power systems (EPS).

Are new battery technologies a risk to energy storage systems?

While modern battery technologies, including lithium ion (Li-ion), increase the technical and economic viability of grid energy storage, they also present new or unknown risks to managing the safety of energy storage systems (ESS). This article focuses on the particular challenges presented by newer battery technologies.

Does industry need standards for energy storage?

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 pro-fessionals indicate a significant need for standards” [1, p. 30].
