What is BS EN IEC 62282-8-101 about?
BS EN IEC 62282-8-101 is a part of multi-series international standards that discusses fuel cell technology. It gives guidance about general safety conditions, test environment, detailed test procedures and computation of results, test reports etc. for estimating the performance of solid oxide single cells and stacks for energy storage purposes.
BS EN IEC 62282-8-101 addresses solid oxide cell (SOC) and stack assembly units. It provides for testing systems, instruments and measuring methods to test the performance of SOC cell/stack assembly units for energy storage purposes. It assesses performance in fuel cell mode, in electrolysis mode and/or in reversible operation.
Note 1: BS EN IEC 62282-8-101 is not applicable to small button cells that are designed for SOC material testing and provide no practical means of reactant utilization measurement, or to single-chamber SOC.
Note 2: BS EN IEC 62282-8-101 is not intended to be applied to fuel cell/stack assembly units for power generation purposes only.
Who is BS EN IEC 62282-8-101 for?
BS EN IEC 62282-8-101 on energy storage systems is useful for:
- Manufacturers of fuel cell modules
- Dealers and importers of fuel cell modules
- Testing houses/ service providers for fuel cell modules
- Developers and designers of fuel cell technologies
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62282-8-101?
A fuel cell power system or module is the complete set of components that integrate with the fuel cell stack so that electricity is produced.
BS EN IEC 62282-8-101 describes test methods for a single cell or stack, that aim to provide guidelines for the characterization of real-time performance and durability of the cell/stack. These fuel cells can include solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) in combination with solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) or may directly be using reversible solid oxide cells for energy storage systems applications.
BS EN IEC 62282-8-101 gives you performance test methods based on electrochemical modules which combine both, electrolysis and fuel cells, particularly reversible fuel cells, for power storage and buffering systems. It also considers both the options of re-electrification and substance/heat production for sustainable integration of renewable energy sources. The users of BS EN IEC 62282-8-101 may selectively execute test items suitable for their purposes.
BS EN IEC 62282-8-101 is also useful for exchanging data in commercial transactions between cell/stack manufacturers and system developers or for acquiring data on a cell or stack in order to estimate the performance of a system based on it.
