29、se as energy storage for stationary applications such as for PV, wind turbine storage or for UPS, etc. applications. These systems are to be installed in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or other applicable installation codes. 1.2 These requirements also cover electric energy

30、 storage systems (EESS) as dened by this standard for use in light electric rail (LER) applications and stationary rail applications such as rail substations. These systems are intended for installation within either the rail car or within a sheltered stationary location such as a rail substation. T

31、hese electric energy storage systems may utilize regenerative braking from the trains as a source of energy for recharging and are intended for direct or indirect connection to the rail power lines. These electric energy storage systems are intended for balancing loads during peak hours, serving as

32、an energy storage device during regenerative breaking of the trains, and as a source of emergency power to move trains to the nearest station during power outages. 1.3 Appendix B of this standard includes requirements specic to sodium-beta type technologies. Appendix C of this standard includes requ

33、irements specic to owing electrolyte technologies. 1.4 This standard evaluates the electric energy storage systems ability to safely withstand simulated abuse conditions. This standard evaluates the system based upon the manufacturers specied charge and discharge parameters. 1.5 This standard does n

34、ot evaluate the performance (i.e. capacity measurements under various discharge conditions) or reliability (i.e. capacity measurements under various environmental conditions) of these devices. 1.6 Figure 1.1 is a boundary diagram example for an electric energy storage system for this application.

40、vices, cooling systems and monitoring circuitry. Although batteries may be the dominant energy storage device in the pack, the battery pack may include electrochemical capacitors as a type of hybrid pack. 4.3 CAPACITOR PACK Electrochemical capacitors that are ready for use in an electric energy stor

41、age system, contained in a protective enclosure, with or without protective devices, cooling systems, and monitoring circuitry. Although electrochemical capacitors may be the dominant energy storage device in the pack, the capacitor pack may include batteries as a type of hybrid pack. 4.4 CAPACITY,

42、RATED (C n ) The total number of ampere-hours that can be withdrawn from a fully charged battery at a specic discharge rate to a specic end-of-discharge voltage (EODV) at a specied temperature as declared by the manufacturer. 4.4.1 CASCADING The runaway failure or thermal propagation of a battery sy

43、stem or battery module when: a) One battery cell is triggered into catastrophic failure and this cell causes the failure of neighboring cells; and/or b) Continued thermal propagation of catastrophic cell failures until part of or the entire system is on re or causing excessive hazardous gas generati

44、on or leakage of hazardous liquids. 4.5 CASING The container that directly encloses and connes the contents of a cell or electrochemical capacitor. 4.6 CELL The basic functional electrochemical unit containing an assembly of electrodes, electrolyte, separators, container, and terminals. It is a sour

45、ce of electrical energy by direct conversion of chemical energy. 4.7 CELL BLOCK One or more cells connected in parallel. 4.8 CHARGING The application of electric current to battery or capacitor terminals, which results in a Faradic reaction that takes place within the battery that leads to stored el

46、ectro-chemical energy or in the case of the capacitor, due to electrical charge being stored without a chemical reaction taking place. 4.9 CHARGING, CONSTANT CURRENT (CC) Charging mode where current is held constant while charging voltage is allowed to vary. 4.10 CHARGING, CONSTANT VOLTAGE (CV) Char

47、ging mode where voltage is held constant while charging current is allowed to vary. JUNE 1, 2016 UL 1973 9UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 4.11 DUT Device under test. 4.12 ELECTRIC ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM Consists of a pack and

48、external controls and circuitry related to the pack such as cooling systems, disconnects or protection devices external to the pack. 4.13 ELECTROCHEMICAL CAPACITOR An electric energy storage device where electrical charge is typically stored as a result of non-Faradaic reactions at the electrodes. (

49、A subset of electrochemical capacitors referred to as an asymmetric type have non-Faradaic reactions at one electrode and Faradaic reactions at the other electrode.) A highly-porous surface of the electrodes increases the surface area for holding charge resulting in much larger capacitance and energy density. Electrochemical capacitors differ from common electrolytic capacitors in that they employ a liquid rather than a solid dielectri
