5 1 TÜV Rheinland 2 Risks, Hazards 3 Battery - Application and Conditions of Operation 4 Standardisation - Focus on Safety und Quality 5 Testing Batteries and Inverters

6 Batteries - Causes for risks and hazards Cause Defect in manufacturing & manufacturing problems Discontinuous cooling Effect Intern short circuit, overheating damage Overheating damage Faulty charging device Overcharging heating damage Incorrect use or accident Short circuited cells or poles overheating damage

7 Example: Risk potentials with Lithium-Ion Storage systems Typical characteristics Electrical voltage Electrical current Material durability with inflammation range Energy density of Li-Ion vs Fuel But Li-Batteries V A combustive (electrolyte) C Wh/kg Wh/kg (Bild: dpa) Energy density (Lithium): Ethermal > 10x Electric and therefore an exothermic risk potential comparable to fuel! 51

9 Current field of application and demand of qualification 30TWh = 4,8% of power generation in Germany out of 1,4 Mio. plants on sunny days 35% covering through PV and up to 10% through wind Demand for secure and reliable storage solutions 53,4 TWh = 8,5% of power generation in Germany with plants 53

10 Fixed batteries and industrial operation conditions Fixed industrial applications: - Use under standard-industrial environment - EMC, dust, heat/fire, humidity, etc. - Use under offshore environment - additional saline atmosphere and high solar irradiation -Use under agricultural conditions additional nitrogenous, ammonium atmosphere and solar irradiation - Use under geologic/geographical conditions Commotion, earthquake 54

11 Residential batteries in private sector Fixed applications in privat sector/home area - Incorrect use short circuit - safety against overloading - EMC Influences inverter, ITC EMC - Design - Fire in area of heating system robustness - Water/flooding in cellar and deep level as well as dust and humidity IP degree of protection claims standardised requirements and tests 55

13 Standardisation for Safety & Quality * Further organisations like BSI, SAE, ANSI, BATSO 57

14 Standardisation for Safety & Transport UN 38.3 Requirements and tests for transportation of lithium-batteries Test T.1: Altitude simulation Test T.2: Thermal Test Test T.3: Oscillation Test T.4: mech. Stroke Test T.5: External Short circuit Test T.6: Crash (cell) / Crush (pack) Test T.7: Overcharge (pack) Test T.8: Enforced Discharging (cell) 58

15 Current status of standardisation Fixed energy storage systems and safety issues IEC and DKE AK develop /discuss currently: - The IEC (Li-Ion storage systems for industrial applications) - The 21A/520/NP: (VDE AR ) The Technical Commitee of BATSO developed the standard BATSO 02 with following content respectively structure of requirements: 1. Fixed energy storage systems in residential buildings; Flooding, earthquake, fire, misuse, dust and climate 2. Fixed energy storage systems in industrial buildings; Flooding, earthquake, fire and dust 3. Fixed energy storage systems placed outside (outdoor installation); Flooding, earthquake, dust and water, solar irradiation, temperature and humidity 4. Fixed energy storage systems for offshore-applications (together with outdoor installation"); Flooding (increased demands), solar irradiance, durability against saltmist 60

16 Current status of standardisation Catalogue of safety objectives for residential Lithium-Ions storage systems The Catalogue has been developed with cooperation of the following institutions (Stakeholder): - Bundesverband Batteriespeicher (BVES), - Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (BSW-Solar), - Zentralverband Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie e.v. (ZVEI), - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sonnenenergie (DGS) - StoRegio e.v. - TÜV Rheinland, - Verband der Elektrotechnik (VDE), - CETECOM - Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT). 61

17 Current status of standardisation Catalogue of safety objectives for residential Lithium-Ions storage systems The catalogue defines safety objectives for battery storage systems with and without inverter. These safety objectives refer to rechargeable Lithium-Ion-cells (secondary- Lithium-Ion-cells) for fixed residential storage systems : e.g.:applications combined with Photovoltaic systems The catalogue implements current and upcoming standards and provides an overview for necessary investigations to guarantee a safe system. TÜV Rheinland investigates and certifies lithium-ion battery-systems for residential applications in terms of safety, performance and lifetime; Based on BATSO 02:2013, TÜV Rheinland 2PFG safety and qualitystandards. 62

19 Battery testing residential application BATSO 02:2013 Fire The battery should be able to resist an external fire at least 30 min. The test is defined in DIN EN Water/Flooding The battery system should be able to resist immersing under a 30 cm head of water. That can be enabled with the enclosure or an appropriate mounting spot. For floor installation, tests are defined in EN , IPX8. (in 50cm depth of water for 90 minutes) 64

20 Battery testing residential application Dust The enclosure of the storage system should provide IP5X degree of protection (EN 60529). Misuse The enclosure of the storage system should be furnished with screws (or different closure technology) to assure, that opening is only possible with special tools. In addition an IP4X degree of protection (EN 60529) must be obtained. [source: SMA] 65

29 Conclusion 1. Energy storage systems carry potential risks and hazards, which should be controllable due consideration of technological knowledge and specific application. 2. Applied tests for ESS imply a combination of electrical and mechanical tests in consideration of defined environmental conditions. 3. Standardized tests and certifications in regard to safety and performance establish confidence for the manufacturer when designing products and trust for the enduser. 74
