bodies. Ultimately, energy storage safety is ensured through engineering quality and application of safety practices to the entire energy storage system. Design and planning to prevent emergencies, and to improve any necessary response, is crucial. Safety design and planning is the responsibility of all stakeholders in the supply chain,
The Standard covers a comprehensive review of energy storage systems, covering charging and discharging, protection, control, communication between devices, fluids movement and other aspects.
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].
It applies to both residential and commercial energy storage systems and is a common standard for manufacturers and installers. Ensures the system operates safely under regular and fault conditions, preventing electrical threats.
Energy storage has made massive gains in adoption in the United States and globally, exceeding a gigawatt of battery-based ESSs added over the last decade. While a lack of C&S for energy storage remains a barrier to even higher adoption, advances have been made and efforts continue to fill remain-ing gaps in codes and standards.
The “UL9540 Complete Guide – Standard for Energy Storage Systems” explains how UL9540 ensures the safety and efficiency of energy storage systems (ESS). It details the critical criteria for certification, including electrical safety, battery management systems, thermal stability, and system integrity.
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.
