UL Solutions, a US testing, inspection and certification company, said it certified BAE USA’s stationary lead-acid battery energy storage system (ESS) to the third edition of ANSI/CAN/UL 1973.
This Standard for Batteries for Use in Stationary and Motive Auxiliary Power Applications is the first certification for BAE USA.
UL said it evaluated the ESS’s ability to safely withstand simulated abuse conditions, based on the manufacturer’s specified charge and discharge parameters, and for potentially hazardous hydrogen gas concentrations.
BAE USA’s energy storage system underwent electrical, mechanical and environmental tests before achieving certification to ANSI/CAN/UL 1973 and UL 9540, the Standard for Energy Storage Systems and Equipment.
The system also met the fire safety testing performance criteria of UL 9540A, the Standard for Test Method for Evaluating Thermal Runaway Fire Propagation in Battery Energy Storage Systems, it added.
