This guidance aims to improve the navigability of existing health and safety standards and provide a clearer understanding of relevant standards that the industry for grid scale electrical energy storage systems can apply to its own process (es).
Internationally developed standards are often mirrored by the BSI in the UK and so become UK standards. They form the bulk of the technical standards related to energy storage. They are developed through relevant working groups in organisations such as the IEC, CENELEC, or ISO and present international consensus on what standards should apply.
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].
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.
