Safety Standards for Lithium-ion Electrochemical Energy Storage Systems Safety Standards for Lithium-ion Electrochemical Energy Storage Systems Introduction Summary: ESS Standards UL 9540: Energy Storage Systems and Equipment UL 1973: Batteries for Use in Stationary and Motive Auxiliary Power Applications UL 1642: Lithium Batteries
This overview of currently available safety standards for batteries for stationary battery energy storage systems shows that a number of standards exist that include some of the safety tests required by the Regulation concerning batteries and waste batteries, forming a good basis for the development of the regulatory tests.
This standard outlines the product safety requirements and tests for secondary lithium (i.e. Li-ion) cells and batteries with a maximum DC voltage of 1500 V for the use in SBESS. This standards is about the safety of primary and secondary lithium batteries used as power sources.
UL is an independent product safety certification organisation which, in conjunction with other organisations and industry experts, publishes consensus-based safety standards. They have recently developed battery storage standards which are in use both nationally and internationally. For lithium batteries, key standards are:
While there is not a specific OSHA standard for lithium-ion batteries, many of the OSHA general industry standards may apply, as well as the General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970). These include, but are not limited to the following standards:
As the industry for battery energy storage systems (BESS) has grown, a broad range of H&S related standards have been developed. There are national and international standards, those adopted by the British Standards Institution (BSI) or published by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), CENELEC, ISO, etc.

A distinction is also made between energy conversion efficiency and round-trip efficiency. Energy conversion efficiency refers to the efficiency of each step, such as current conversion processes. Round-trip efficiency. . According to a common industry standard, a BESS is considered to have reached the end of its service life when its actual charging capacity falls below 80% of the original nominal capacity. The degradation of a BESS depen. . Charged batteries lose energy over time, even when they are not used. The self-discharge rate measures the percentage of energy lost within a certain period (usually 1 month) and under certain conditions (usually 20 degre. . The optimum operating temperature for most BESS is around 20 degrees Celsius. However, they tolerate temperatures between 5 and 30 degrees Celsius. Some technologies are more tolerant of temperature vari. . This figure refers to the voltage a battery can be charged and discharged with safely. The voltage range of an accumulator largely depends on the storage technology and the power electronics. [pdf]
As of the end of 2022, the total nameplate power capacity of operational utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in the United States was 8,842 MW and the total energy capacity was 11,105 MWh. Most of the BESS power capacity that was operational in 2022 was installed after 2014, and about 4,807 MW was installed in 2022 alone.
By placing energy storage systems where they are most needed, grid operators can ensure more efficient voltage regulation, especially in areas with high load density or regions far from traditional generation sources. The Power Conversion System (PCS) within the BESS plays a crucial role in providing voltage support.
The main technical measures of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) include energy capacity, power rating, round-trip efficiency, and many more. Read more...
Energy storage capacity of a cell or battery can be calculated by using (actual charge) capacity C and battery open-circuit voltage vBat,OCV (t) between full and empty state: (10) E C = ∫ q (S O C = 0 %) q (S O C = 100 %) v B a t, O C V (q) ⋅ d q Energy storage capacity is usually expressed in kilo watt hours (kWh).
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a pivotal role in grid recovery through black start capabilities, providing critical energy reserves during catastrophic grid failures.
An energy storage system (ESS) for electricity generation uses electricity (or some other energy source, such as solar-thermal energy) to charge an energy storage system or device, which is discharged to supply (generate) electricity when needed at desired levels and quality. ESSs provide a variety of services to support electric power grids.
