4 FAQs about Standards for the use of energy storage battery containers

What is a battery energy storage system container?

A Battery Energy Storage System container is more than a metal shell—it is a frontline safety barrier that shields high-value batteries, power-conversion gear and auxiliary electronics from mechanical shock, fire risk and harsh climates.

What are the requirements for a battery energy storage system?

The requirements of this ordinance shall apply to all battery energy storage systems with a rated nameplate capacity of equal to or greater than 1,000 kilowatts (1 megawatt).

What are the UL standards for energy storage systems?

UL 1973: Batteries for Use in Stationary and Motive Auxiliary Power Applications. Safety standard for modules and battery systems used in stationary energy storage systems. UL 9540, Energy Storage Systems and Equipment. Safety standard for energy storage systems used with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.

Do battery energy storage systems comply with building codes?

Building codes: Battery energy storage systems (BESS) must comply with local building codes and fire safety regulations, which can vary across different geographies and municipalities. These codes are governed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the U.S. and the performance-based European Standards (EN) in the European Union.
