A Comprehensive Guide: U.S. Codes and Standards for
While various technologies, such as flywheels, fuel cells, compressed gas, and others, are either in use or development, the primary focus of most of the jurisdictional Authority Having
Until existing model codes and standards are updated or new ones developed and then adopted, one seeking to deploy energy storage technologies or needing to verify an installation's safety may be challenged in applying current CSRs to an energy storage system (ESS).
As cited in the DOE OE ES Program Plan, “Industry requires specifications of standards for characterizing the performance of energy storage under grid conditions and for modeling behavior. Discussions with industry pro-fessionals indicate a significant need for standards” [1, p. 30].
As shown in Fig. 3, many safety C&S affect the design and installation of ESS. One of the key product standards that covers the full system is the UL9540 Standard for Safety: Energy Storage Systems and Equipment . Here, we discuss this standard in detail; some of the remaining challenges are discussed in the next section.
A. Collectively, codes, and standards are intended to cover the safety-related aspects of all stationary ESS technologies and installations from development to installation and commissioning and then operation, maintenance, and through to decommissioning and even beyond that to any repurposing for a second use.
