Scope
Description: Traction power systems experience some of the most extreme variations in local power loads as compared to most other large scale electric power supply networks. These variations create challenges in the construction of reliable electric power delivery systems and in the performance of the rolling stock dependent on power supplied by the system.
A method for defining the electrical load supplied by a nickel-cadmium battery and for sizing the battery to supply that load is described in this recommended practice.
Description: The electrical interfaces among the components comprising the auxiliary power systems and their electrical interface with other train-borne systems are described.
This project aims at the standardization of the microgrid design and planning process, the technical requirement specification of microgrid design and the evaluation of the microgrid planning scheme. The implementation of the proposed recommended practice will enhance the safe, reliable and economic operation of microgrid.
This report summarizes an assessment of potential lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery vehicle safety issues to provide NHTSA information it can use to assess needs and prioritize its future research activities on Li-ion battery vehicles. This analysis is intended to assist NHTSA in identifying potential critical operational safety issues it may want to consider and in assessing if further testing is needed to evaluate safety concerns. This document is the comprehensive final report for the project, compiling and summarizing the key background information and assessment of results developed.
1.1.1
This Standard applies to ac and dc type portable fuel cell power systems, with a rated output voltage not exceeding 600 V, for commercial, industrial, and residential indoor and outdoor use in non-hazardous locations, in accordance with the Rules of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
1.1.2
This Standard does not apply to portable fuel cell power systems that are

b. Designed to export power to the grid;
This manual defines a series of tests to characterize aspects of the performance or life behavior of
batteries for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) applications. Tests are defined based on the
Vehicle Technologies Program targets for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, though it is anticipated
these tests may be generally useful for testing energy storage devices for plug-in hybrid vehicles. The
test procedures in this manual are directly applicable to complete battery systems. However, most
