Energy Storage System and Component Standards 2. If relevant testing standards are not identified, it is possible they are under development by an SDO or by a third-party testing entity that plans to use them to conduct tests until a formal standard has been developed and approved by an SDO.
One gap in current safety assessments is that validation tests are performed on new products under laboratory conditions, and do not reflect changes that can occur in service or as the product ages. Figure 4. Increasing safety certainty earlier in the energy storage development cycle. 8. Summary of Gaps
Electrochemical energy storage systems (EESSs) are divided into electrostatics (capacitors and supercapacitors), batteries, and magnetics. Low capacitance EESSs are used for high currents over short periods (Wang et al., 2012). Capacitors consist of two metal plates separated by a dielectric insulating layer (Zakeri and Syri, 2015).
A framework is provided for evaluating issues in emerging electrochemical energy storage technologies. The report concludes with the identification of priorities for advancement of the three pillars of energy storage safety: 1) science-based safety validation, 2) incident preparedness and response, 3) codes and standards.
