4 FAQs about Mobile Base Station Energy Storage Battery Standards

What is a battery energy storage system (BMS)?

This document considers the BMS to be a functionally distinct component of a battery energy storage system (BESS) that includes active functions necessary to protect the battery from modes of operation that could impact its safety or longevity.

What are the IEEE Standards for energy storage?

Developed by theIEEE Standards Coordinating Committee 21 on Fuel Cells, Photovoltaics, Dispersed Generation, and Energy StorageApproved 5 September 2019IEEE SA Standards BoardAbstract: Application of this standard includes: (1) Stationary battery energy storage system (BESS) and mobile BESS

Are transportable energy storage systems included in this standard?

Transportable energy storage systems that are stationary during operation are included in this standard. This document does not cover BMSs for mobile applications such as electric vehicles; nor does it include operation in vehicle-to-grid applications.

What is a battery management system?

The battery management system is considered to be a functionally distinct component of a battery energy storage system that includes active functions necessary to protect the battery from modes of operation that could impact its safety or longevity.
