This overview of currently available safety standards for batteries for stationary battery energy storage systems shows that a number of standards exist that include some of the safety tests required by the Regulation concerning batteries and waste batteries, forming a good basis for the development of the regulatory tests.
“During this test, the battery shall be exposed to elevated temperatures (in IEC 62619 the temperature is 85°C) which can trigger exothermal decomposition reactions and lead to a thermal runaway in the cell.” The majority of the standards that include this test require to test at cell level.
This standard outlines the product safety requirements and tests for secondary lithium (i.e. Li-ion) cells and batteries with a maximum DC voltage of 1500 V for the use in SBESS. This standards is about the safety of primary and secondary lithium batteries used as power sources.
The safety is estimated by several parameters of the battery’s first life and the current state of deterioration (e.g. measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy). During operation the battery’s SOC range shall be narrowed for energy and power intensive application by increasing the lower and reducing the upper voltage limit.
ESS battery testing ensures these storage solutions are safe and comply with relevant market standards like IEC 62619, an international standard published in 2017, and is designed to meet the needs of the growing ESS market.
“This test shall evaluate the safety performance of a battery in internal short-circuit situations. The occurrence of internal short circuits, one of the main concerns for battery manufacturers, potentially leads to venting, thermal runaway, and sparking which can ignite the electrolyte vapours escaping from the cell.
