Summary
Standard covers recommended information for an objective evaluation of emerging energy storage technology by a potential user of any stationary application. Storage technologies are those that provide a means for the reversible storage of electrical energy (i.e., device receives electrical energy and can discharge electrical energy later). The storage medium may be electrochemical (e.g., batteries), kinetic (e.g., flywheels), electrostatic (e.g., electric double-layer capacitors [EDLCs]), thermal or other medium.
