What is BS EN 62924 - Stationary energy storage system for DC traction systems about?
BS EN 62924 is a European standard that discusses railway applications. It provides for stationary energy storage systems for DC traction systems to ensure the safety of workers
BS EN 62924 outlines the requirements and test methods for a stationary energy storage system to be introduced as a trackside installation and used in a power supply network of a DC electrified railway. This system can take electrical energy from the DC power supply network, store the energy, and supply the energy back to the DC power supply network when necessary.
BS EN 62924 applies to systems that are installed to achieve absorption of regenerative energy and power compensation.
Note 1:BS EN 62924 does not apply to onboard energy storage systems.
Note 2: Although it is assumed that the system uses batteries (lithium-ion, nickel metal hydride, etc.), capacitors (electric double layer capacitors, lithium-ion capacitors, etc.), and flywheels BS EN 62924 also applies to other existing or future technologies.
Who is BS EN 62924 - Stationary energy storage system for DC traction systems for?
BS EN 62924 on stationary energy storage systems for DC traction systems for railways is useful for:
- Personnel of staff for Installation of DC traction systems
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS EN 62924 - Stationary energy storage system for DC traction systems?
DC electric railways, when a train regenerates power, usually the power has to be consumed within the DC network, because DC power supply substations are usually not reversible. There is no guarantee that adequate load exists for regenerative braking trains; in such a circumstance, regenerative braking becomes ineffective, either in part or in whole.
BS EN 62924 guideline assists you with Configuration of stationary energy storage systems, Service conditions, Investigation before the installation of stationary ESS, Performance requirements, Electromagnetic compatibility, Failure conditions for the stationary ESS, Mechanical characteristics, and test for stationary energy storage systems for DC traction systems for railways.
With compliance and obedience of BS EN 62924 you can enhance the performance of stationary energy storage systems for DC traction systems and ensure the safety of workers.
