6 FAQs about [Latest version of outdoor energy storage test standard]

Are there standards defining performance tests of electrical energy storage system?

There are no standards defining performance tests of electrical energy storage (EES) system for complex application scenarios that require both photovoltaic (PV) smoothing and electric vehicle (EV) load regulation.

What does ul 9540 mean for energy storage systems & equipment?

The third edition of the UL 9540 Standard for Safety for Energy Storage Systems and Equipment, published in April 2023, introduces replacements, revisions and additions to the requirements for system deployment.

Does a battery energy storage system undergo thermal runaway?

The requirements were designed to evaluate the fire characteristics of a battery ESS that undergoes thermal runaway. The data generated was intended to be used to determine the fire and explosion protection required for an installation of a battery energy storage system.

What NFPA standards are used for thermal ESS?

NFPA 484 Standard for Combustible Metals, NFPA 704 Standard System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response, Canadian Electrical Code’s CSA C22.2 No. 286, and UL 1004-4 Standard for Electric Generators were added as reference standards related to thermal ESS.

What are the NFPA requirements for battery ESS?

Size (electrical capacity in a unit), separation and maximum allowable quantity (total electrical capacity in one space) requirements were introduced in the 2018 International Fire Code and the NFPA 1 Fire Code to address uncertainty with thermal runaway and fire propagation of battery ESS.

What is a periodic ESS test?

Periodic tests aim to inspect operation safety and reliability of ESS, which shall be periodically carried out after ESS have been officially applied in EPSs. The measured and analyzed results of each test obtained by applying the standard shall be repeatable, traceable, and independent from the test environment and location.
