BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEMS (BESS)
This report reviews the existing guidelines and standards for Lithium-ion Battery (LIB) Energy Storage Systems (BESS) available up to 2024 and compares them to the guidelines currently
While it is essential to consider the specific lithium battery chemistry, note that it does not impact this code threshold. IFC 1207.3 requires third-party listings for ESS. The ESS must be listed in accordance with UL 9540, the Standard for Safety of Energy Storage Systems and Equipment.
Aside from presenting a viable opportunity for energy storage or balancing electrical grids, BESS present significant fire and explosion risks, due to employment of Lithium-ion batteries (LIB), which are susceptible to thermal runaway (TR).
Lithium-ion batteries are the predominant technology being utilised within battery energy storage systems (BESS). These systems as defined in AS/NZS 5139 fall into three categories being: 1. Pre-assembled battery systems; 2. Pre-assembled integrated BESS; and 3. Battery systems that do not fall within the previous two identified categories.
Lithium Battery refers to a family of batteries with different chemistries, comprising many types of cathodes and electrolytes. For the purposes of the DGR they are separated into lithium metal batteries and lithium-ion batteries.
