Battery storage standards in Europe are increasingly significant due to the continent’s shift towards a more sustainable and renewable-driven energy sector. Battery storage systems store significant amounts of energy and, without proper standards, could pose risks such as fires or chemical leaks.
Battery storage systems store significant amounts of energy and, without proper standards, could pose risks such as fires or chemical leaks. Standards like IEC 62619 and UN38.3 have been established to address these risks by setting stringent guidelines on the design, testing, and certification processes for battery systems.
Battery storage standards are closely tied to governmental regulations, which can vary widely across different regions. In Europe, where regulatory environments are particularly stringent, having a set of well-defined standards helps manufacturers ensure compliance and avoid legal or financial penalties.
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.
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is an advanced technology designed to store electrical energy in batteries for later use. It consists of multiple components, including: Battery Modules: Store energy using lithium-ion, lead-acid, or other battery chemistries.
As cited in the DOE OE ES Program Plan, “Industry requires specifications of standards for characterizing the performance of energy storage under grid conditions and for modeling behavior. Discussions with industry professionals indicate a significant need for standards ” [1, p. 30].
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years.
