About this event
One of the main standards adopted for stationary energy storage systems (ESS) is UL 1973 (Batteries for Use in Stationary and Motive Auxiliary Power Applications).
This critical standard for manufacturers has recently been updated to its 3rd Edition, dated 2022. The scope of this standard includes cells, battery modules, battery pack/rack, and the battery management system.
Understanding these updates is vital for manufacturers as they plan milestones and time-to-market for their products.
In this webinar, we will consider key requirements that have been updated or modified that energy storage manufacturers need to know about and understand.
Some of the Edition updates are focused on changes to the construction requirements of the products that fall under scope. Others are focused on modifications to test procedures, additional testing, and clarification of existing test clauses.
This session will discuss updates to the standard and highlight requirements important to manufacturers for their battery systems. We will also briefly address the various functional safety requirements in this standard for safety critical controls.
Armed with this knowledge, energy storage system manufacturers will be able to address applicable testing and certification requirements early in the process, streamlining deployments and commissioning.
Agenda:
- The basics of UL 1973 and key changes to the 3rd Edition dated 2022
- High impact clauses of UL 1973 including functional safety requirements
