储能系统 (ESS) 测试和认证

为系统集成商和原始设备制造商 (OEM) 提供可靠的解决方案,解决他们独有的安全问题。

Energy storage system paired with wind and solar generation

Safety testing and certification for energy storage systems (ESS)

Large batteries present unique safety considerations because they contain high levels of energy. Additionally, they may utilize hazardous materials and moving parts.

We work hand in hand with system integrators and OEMs to better understand and address these issues.

Understanding UL 9540 and ESS certification

UL 9540, the Standard for Energy Storage Systems and Equipment, covers electrical, electrochemical, mechanical and other types of energy storage technologies for systems intended to supply electrical energy. The Standard covers a comprehensive review of ESS, including charging and discharging, protection, control, communication between devices, fluids movement and other aspects.

UL 9540 provides a basis for safety of energy storage systems that includes reference to critical technology safety standards and codes, such as:

  • UL 1973, the Standard for Batteries for Use in Stationary, Vehicle Auxiliary Power and Light Electric Rail (LER) Applications
  • UL 1741, the Standard for Inverters, Converters, Controllers and Interconnection System Equipment for Use With Distributed Energy Resources
  • IEEE 1547 and 1547.1
  • CSA FC1
  • NFPA 70
  • NFPA 2
  • ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code
  • ASME B31 piping codes

The standard includes additional criteria to address materials, enclosures, including walk-in enclosures, controls, piping, utility grid interaction, and special purpose interactive systems, hazardous moving parts, signage and instructions.

If successful, ESS certification can be achieved by evaluation of off-the-shelf components that are put together by the manufacturer or integrator and submitted for certification.

ESS performance and reliability testing

We also offer performance and reliability testing, including capacity claims, charge and discharge cycling, overcharge abilities, environmental and altitude simulation, and combined temperature cycling and vibration testing.

We offer performance testing to standards such as:
  • IEC 61960
  • IEC 60068 series
  • IEC 62933-1-1
  • IEC 62933-5-2
  • NEMA 80057-2024 (formerly NEMA ESS 1)
