Technical Briefing on Electrical Energy Storage

I am happy to announce that the IET Standards Technical Briefing: Electrical Energy Storage: an introduction has just been released online as a free download and is available here: http://www.theiet.org/resources/standards/eesstb.cfm.


We’re hoping that it will act as a good complementary document to the forthcoming Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems. Please pass on this link to anyone you think will find this document useful.


For more information on the Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems, please visit: ​http://www.theiet.org/resources/standards/eess-cop.cfm.
  • Interesting document, but unfortunate typing error on page 22 in the definition of "Extra Low Voltage".  Surely it should be "... 120 V ripple-free d.c...."


    I would have liked to see at least a brief mention of some other storage technologies (e.g. super capacitors, superconducting devices, pumped storage, compressed air, mechanical devices like flywheels) with an indication of ther applicability and restrictions, in order to justify the author's choice of only dealing with electrochemical storage (i.e. batteries)

  • Many thanks for this feedback. Something we can definitely look at revising. The scope of this document was focussed on electrochemical storage, but other storage technologies could be considered in future publications.
