What is BS EN IEC 62933-1- vocabulary for Electrical Energy Storage (EES) systems about?
BS EN IEC 62933-1 is first part of IEC 62933, which defines terms applicable to electrical energy storage (EES) systems including terms necessary for the definition of unit parameters, test methods, planning, installation, safety and environmental issues.
BS EN IEC 62933-1 is applicable to grid-connected systems able to extract electrical energy from an electric power system, store it internally, and inject electrical power to an electric power system. The step for charging and discharging an EES system may comprise an energy conversion.
Who is BS EN IEC 62933-1- vocabulary for Electrical Energy Storage (EES) systems for?
BS EN IEC 62933-1-vocabulary for Electrical Energy Storage (EES) systems is useful for:
- Electrical Energy Storage (EES) systems operators
- Electrical Energy Storage (EES) systems installation and planning agencies
- Environmental protection agencies
- Testing houses
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62933-1-vocabulary for Electrical Energy Storage (EES) systems?
From the technical point of view, an EES system can be a complex multistage system with several possible energy conversions. Each stage is made by components well standardized (e.g. transformers, power converter systems) or innovative components (e.g. new types of batteries).
Without a strong standardization of EES systems terminology, focal terms can have a different meaning in EES systems related to different storage technologies. This aspect is critical also from the market point of view, it impacts economics, and this can become a barrier for tender
processes. The correct comparison among different options is fundamental, therefore basic terms and definitions impact economic decisions. This terminology document BS EN IEC 62933-1 completes the scenario by giving definitions necessary at the system level.
The purpose of this terminology document BS EN IEC 62933-1 is to provide terms and definitions for all the publications under the responsibility of TC 120, that standardize electrical energy storage systems (EES systems) including unit parameters, test methods, planning, installation, safety and environmental issues.
