Energy storage battery traceability code

Are energy storage codes & standards needed?

Discussions with industry professionals indicate a significant need for standards …” [1, p. 30]. Under this strategic driver, a portion of DOE-funded energy storage research and development (R&D) is directed to actively work with industry to fill energy storage Codes & Standards (C&S) gaps.

Are new battery technologies a risk to energy storage systems?

While modern battery technologies, including lithium ion (Li-ion), increase the technical and economic viability of grid energy storage, they also present new or unknown risks to managing the safety of energy storage systems (ESS). This article focuses on the particular challenges presented by newer battery technologies.

What is the UL 9540 standard for energy storage systems?

For ESS, the standard is UL 9540, Standard for Energy Storage Systems and Equipment. UL 9540 covers the complete ESS, including batery system, power conversion system (PCS), and energy storage man-agement system (ESMS). Each of these components must be qualified to its own standard:

Do energy storage systems need to be certified?

U.S. fire and electrical codes require that energy storage systems be listed, meaning the product must be tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (a private-sector organization recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and certified to meet consensus-based test standards.

Does a power battery product code need to be retained?

It should be noted that for the cascade utilization products, the original power battery product code needs to be retained. The standard does not specify the information to be included in the traceability information code, nor does it unify the coding rules of this part of the code.

What is a battery recovery code?

The battery recovery code itself is a series of numbers and letters combined with codes for managing power battery information collection during the collection, disassembly, classification, step utilization, metal recycling, resource regeneration, and waste disposal processes [ 70 ].
