6 FAQs about [Domestic energy storage battery standards]
What are the international standards for battery energy storage systems?
Appendix 1 includes a summary of applicable international standards for domestic battery energy storage systems (BESSs). When a standard exists as a British standard (BS) based on a European (EN or HD) standard, the BS version is referenced. The standards are divided into the following categories: Safety standards for electrical installations.
Are domestic battery energy storage systems safe?
However, even though few incidents with domestic battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are known in the public domain, questions have been raised regarding the safety of these systems. The concern is based on the large energy content within these systems.
What is a domestic battery energy storage system (BESS)?
A domestic battery energy storage system (BESS) will be part of the electrical installation in residential buildings. Examples of standards that cover electrical installations in residential buildings are shown in Table A 2. The HD 60364 series is a harmonization document from CENELEC.
What is the scope of energy storage system standards?
The scope of the energy storage system standards includes both industrial large-scale energy storage systems as well as domestic energy storage systems. Appendix 1 includes a summary of applicable international standards for domestic battery energy storage systems (BESSs).
Are large battery energy storage systems a safety hazard?
Even though few incidents with domestic battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are known in the public domain, the use of large batteries in the domestic environment represents a safety hazard.
Should batteries be used for domestic energy storage?
The application of batteries for domestic energy storage is not only an attractive ‘clean’ option to grid supplied electrical energy, but is on the verge of offering economic advantages to consumers, through maximising the use of renewable generation or by 3rd parties using the battery to provide grid services.
