Standard Specifications for Lithium Battery Energy Storage Cabinets

This document provides an overview of current codes and standards (C+S) applicable to U.S. installations of utility-scale battery energy storage systems.

Lithium-ion Battery Storage Technical Specifications. The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) provides a customizable template for federal government agencies seeking to procure lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Sodium–Sulfur (Na–S) Battery. The sodium–sulfur battery, a liquid-metal battery, is a type of molten metal battery constructed from sodium (Na) and sulfur (S). It exhibits high energy density, high eficiency of charge and discharge (89%–92%), and a long cycle life, and is fabricated from inexpensive materials.

Samsung UL9540A Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage System The Samsung SDI 128S and 136S energy storage systems for data center application are the first lithium-ion battery cabinets to fulfill the rack-level safety standards of the UL9540A test for Energy Storage Systems (ESS), which was developed by UL, a global safety certification company.

Application of this standard includes: (1) Stationary battery energy storage system (BESS) and mobile BESS; (2) Carrier of BESS, including but not limited to lead acid battery, lithiumion battery, flow battery, and sodium-sulfur battery; (3) BESS used in electric power systems (EPS).
