UL 1973 & UL 9540 standard updates
IEC standard updates – energy storage systems LaTanya Schwalb, Principal Engineer – ESS, Battery Systems June 14, 2023
UL 1973: Batteries for Use in Stationary and Motive Auxiliary Power Applications. Safety standard for modules and battery systems used in stationary energy storage systems. UL 9540, Energy Storage Systems and Equipment. Safety standard for energy storage systems used with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
Building codes: Battery energy storage systems (BESS) must comply with local building codes and fire safety regulations, which can vary across different geographies and municipalities. These codes are governed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the U.S. and the performance-based European Standards (EN) in the European Union.
A new standard that will apply to the design, performance, and safety of battery management systems. It includes use in several application areas, including stationary batteries installed in local energy storage, smart grids and auxillary power systems, as well as mobile batteries used in electric vehicles (EV), rail transport and aeronautics.
Covers requirements for battery systems as defined by this standard for use as energy storage for stationary applications such as for PV, wind turbine storage or for UPS, etc. applications.
