The solution lies in alternative energy sources like battery energy storage systems (BESS). Battery energy storage is an evolving market, continually adapting and innovating in response to a changing energy landscape and technological advancements.
International Building Code (IBC): Following IBC 2024 Chapter 27 Section 2702.1.3, emergency or standby power systems must be installed following the guidelines outlined in the International Fire Code IFC), NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC) and NFPA 111: Standard on Stored Electrical Energy Emergency and Standby Power Systems.
As shown in Fig. 3, many safety C&S affect the design and installation of ESS. One of the key product standards that covers the full system is the UL9540 Standard for Safety: Energy Storage Systems and Equipment . Here, we discuss this standard in detail; some of the remaining challenges are discussed in the next section.
Figure 1: A simplified project single line showing both a battery energy storage system (BESS) and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The UPS only feeds critical loads, never losing power.
The ESS must be listed in accordance with UL 9540, the Standard for Safety of Energy Storage Systems and Equipment. This can be indicated by a UL label or a label from another recognized testing authority if it meets the UL standard. IFC 1207.4.12 clarifies that a walk-in BESS enclosure is considered effectively unoccupied.
