Energy Storage Unit

The document presents general requirements that Telcordia and participating industry representatives view as applicable to large format non-aqueous rechargeable lithium batteries to replace or interoperate with conventional batteries (i.e., Lead-Acid, nickel-based); function seamlessly with DC power plants; and provide reliable backup power to load equipment in a network environment of a typical telecommunications service provider.

1.1 These requirements cover electrochemical capacitors for use in equipment such as electronic products, uninterruptible power supplies, emergency lighting, engine starting, and power equipment. These energy storage capacitors, also known as electric double-layer capacitors, ultra capacitors, double-layer capacitors or supercapacitors, consist of either individual capacitors or multiple series and/or parallel connected capacitors with or without associated circuitry.1.2 These requirements do not cover electrochemical capacitors for use in hazardous (Classified) locations.

1.1 These requirements cover primary (nonrechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) lithium batteries for use as power sources in products.

Safety standard for stationary batteries for energy storage applications, non-chemistry specific and includes electrochemical capacitor systems or hybrid electrochemical capacitor and battery systems. Includes requirements for unique technologies such as flow batteries and sodium beta (i.e., sodium sulfur and sodium nickel chloride). Includes construction requirements, tests and production tests. Also includes requirements for cells used in these systems such as lithium-ion, nickel, Lead-Acid and includes sodium beta and flow battery requirements.

1.1 These requirements cover electrical energy storage assemblies such as battery packs and combination electrochemical capacitor assemblies and modules that make up these assemblies for use in electric-powered vehicles as defined in this standard.

IEC 61427-2:2015 relates to secondary batteries used in on-grid Electrical Energy Storage (EES) applications and provides the associated methods of test for the verification of their endurance, properties and electrical performance in such applications. The test methods are essentially battery chemistry neutral, i.e. applicable to all secondary battery types.

This International Standard relates to Flow Batteries used in Electrical Energy Storage (EES) applications and provides the main terminology and general aspects of this technology

The purpose of this standard is to develop industry-wide requirements including methods and procedures for the control of battery room and enclosure environments. This includes adequate ventilation of battery-generated gases, the dissipation of battery-generated head, the control of room and enclosure temperature, the management of battery electrolyte spills, and in general the control of any contaminates within the battery room or enclosure.

The USEHC established minimum requirements and standards for the protection of public health, safety and welfare for application to the erection, installation, alteration, repair, relocation, replacement, addition to, use or maintenance of solar energy systems, including but not limited to equipment and appliances intended to utilize solar energy for space heating or cooling; water heating; swimming pool heating or process heating; and solar PV systems. The code includes systems where equipment and components collect, convey, store and convert the sun’s energy for a purpose, including but not limited to service water, pool water and space heating and cooling as well as electrical service.
