Battery management system

The electronics and software that keep a battery inside its safe window: measuring every cell voltage and many temperatures, estimating SOC and SOH, balancing cells, computing current limits, controlling the contactors and reporting over the vehicle network.

IEC 62619

The safety standard for secondary lithium cells and batteries in industrial applications — stationary storage, forklifts, rail and marine — covering cell abuse tests plus battery-system functions such as overcharge and thermal control. It is the industrial counterpart of IEC 62133 for portable and IEC 62660 for vehicles.

Stationary storage

Batteries installed in a fixed place — a container at a solar farm, a cabinet in a home — to shift energy in time or support the grid. LFP cells dominate because cost per cycle and safety matter more than mass.

UL 1741

The North American safety standard for inverters, converters, charge controllers and interconnection equipment used with distributed energy resources such as solar and battery storage. Its Supplement SB certifies grid-support functions, such as ride-through and voltage and frequency response, against the tests of IEEE 1547.1-2020, taking over from the earlier Supplement SA.

UL 9540

The North American product safety standard for a complete energy storage system — battery, inverter and controls together — as opposed to UL 9540A, which is the test method for its thermal-runaway behaviour. Listing to UL 9540 is what most US fire codes require for installation.

UL 9540A

A test method, not a pass/fail standard, that characterises thermal runaway and propagation in stationary storage at cell, module, unit and installation level. Fire codes use its data to decide spacing and suppression for a storage site.
