Report

IEC TR 62914:2014 identifies experimental procedures for the forced internal short-circuit tests in terms of designation, dimensions, tests and requirements. This technical report provides supplemental information to perform the forced internal short-circuit test of IEC 62133:2012 (Subclause 8.3.9).

Method for the determination of the size distribution of particulate biofuels by the rotary screen method. The method described is meant for particulate biofuels only, namely materials that either have been reduced in size, such as most wood fuels, or are physically in a particulate form e.g. olive stones, nutshells, grain, etc.

Methodology that helps operators in the solid biofuels industry design an appropriate Quality Assurance system according to their demands. It acts as a supporting document for the application of the CEN/TS 15234 developed by CEN/TC 335.

The Protocol for Uniformly Measuring and Expressing the Performance of Energy Storage Systems
(PNNL-22010) was first issued in November 2012 as a first step toward providing a foundational basis
for developing an initial standard for the uniform measurement and expression of energy storage system
(ESS) performance. Based on experiences with the application and use of that document, and to include
additional ESS applications and associated duty cycles, test procedures and performance metrics, a first
revision of the November 2012 Protocol was issued in June 2014 (PNNL-22010 Rev. 1). As an update of
the 2014 revision 1 to the Protocol, this document (the April 2016 revision 2 to the Protocol) is intended
to supersede the June 2014 revision 1 to the Protocol and provide a more user-friendly yet more robust
and comprehensive basis for measuring and expressing ESS performance. This foreword1 provides
general and specific details about what additions, revisions, and enhancements have been made to the
June 2014 Protocol and the rationale for them in arriving at this April 2016 Protocol (PNNL-22010 Rev.
2 / SAND2016-3078 R).em in arriving at the June 2014 Protocol.

In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the deployment of lithium ion batteries in energy storage systems (ESS). Many ESS are being deployed in urban areas both in high rise structures and single- and multi-family residences. Local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) along with the ESS integrators and installers are challenged by the lack of clear direction on fire protection and suppression in these installations.

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.

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

IEC TR 62746-2:2015(EN) describes the main pillars of interoperability to assist different Technical Committees in defining their interfaces and messages covering the whole chain between a smart grid and smart home/building/industrial area.
