Why should you use BS EN IEC 62932‑2‑2 ?
A flow battery is a variant of electrochemical cell in which electrolyte flows through one or more electrochemical cells through tanks. Safety requirements for flow battery energy systems ensure low self-discharge, long life cycle and low setup costs.
BS EN IEC 62932‑2‑2 provides you guidance on safety of battery management system (BMS), battery support system (BSS) and power conversion system (PCS) which ensures the safety and protection of flow battery energy systems.
BS EN IEC 62932‑2‑2 provides you guidance on safety requirements which cover different scenarios including electrical hazards, gaseous emission, hazards by liquids, mechanical hazards and operational hazards which allows you to standardize the safety requirements for flow battery energy systems.
Users of BS EN IEC 62932‑2‑2 can ensure the operational safety and integrity of flow battery energy systems for stationary applications.
