Flow Battery Systems for Stationary applications - Part 2-2: Safety requirements

This part of IEC 62932 applies to flow battery systems for stationary applications and their
installations with a maximum voltage not exceeding 1 500 V DC in compliance with
IEC 62932-1.
This document defines the requirements and test methods for risk reduction and protection
measures against significant hazards relevant to flow battery systems, to persons, property and
the environment, or to a combination of them.
This document is applicable to stationary flow battery systems intended for indoor and outdoor
commercial and industrial use in non-hazardous (unclassified) areas.
This document covers significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, with the exception
of those associated with natural disaster, relevant to flow battery systems, when they are used
as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer including reasonably
foreseeable misuse thereof.
The requirements described in this document are not intended to constrain innovations. When
considering fluids, materials, designs or constructions not specifically dealt with in this
document, these alternatives are evaluated as to their ability to yield levels of safety equivalent
to those specified in this document.

Flussbatterie-Systeme für stationäre Anwendungen – Teil 2-2: Sicherheitsanforderungen

Systèmes de production d’énergie de batteries d’accumulateurs à circulation d'électrolyte pour applications stationnaires – Partie 2-2: Exigences de sécurité

L’IEC 62932-2-2:2020 s’applique aux systèmes de batteries d’accumulateurs à circulation d’électrolyte pour les applications stationnaires et à leurs installations avec une tension maximale ne dépassant pas 1 500 V en courant continu conformément à l’IEC 62932-1.
Le présent document définit les exigences et les méthodes d’essai pour la réduction du risque, ainsi que les mesures de protection contre les dangers significatifs, concernant les systèmes de batteries d’accumulateurs à circulation d’électrolyte, les personnes, les biens et l’environnement, ou une combinaison de ces facteurs.
Le présent document est applicable aux systèmes de batteries d’accumulateurs à circulation d’électrolyte stationnaires destinés à une utilisation commerciale et industrielle à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur dans des emplacements (non classés) non dangereux.
Le présent document couvre les dangers, ainsi que les situations et événements dangereux significatifs, à l’exception de ceux associés à une catastrophe naturelle, concernant les systèmes de batteries d’accumulateurs à circulation d’électrolyte, lorsqu’ils sont utilisés tel que prévu et dans les conditions prévues par le fabricant, y compris leur mauvaise utilisation raisonnablement prévisible.
Les exigences décrites dans le présent document ne sont pas destinées à limiter les innovations. La prise en compte des fluides, matériaux, conceptions ou constructions dont le présent document ne traite pas particulièrement évalue ces variantes quant à leur capacité à produire des niveaux de sécurité équivalant à ceux spécifiés dans le présent document.

FLOW BATTERY ENERGY SYSTEMS FOR STATIONARY APPLICATIONS –

Part 2-2: Safety requirements

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The objective of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC
Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement
between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is
accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any
end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this edition.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62932-2-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 21:
Secondary cells and batteries, in collaboration with IEC technical committee 105: Fuel cell
technologies.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
21/1029/FDIS 21/1035/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in the
report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62932 series, published under the general title Flow battery energy
systems for stationary applications, can be found on the IEC website.

stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be

INTRODUCTION
A flow battery system (FBS) can be utilized in a flow battery energy system (FBES). Such an
FBES can consist of:
– a flow battery system,
– a power conversion system,
– other equipment and surroundings.
The FBES is connected to the external power input/output via a point of connection (POC).
This document covers the domain of the FBES, as shown in Figure 1. Energy to the auxiliary
systems such as the battery management system (BMS), the battery support system (BSS),
and the power conversion system (PCS) may be supplied by one of the following:
a) direct connection to the external power source;
b) the internal power source of the FBES or FBS itself.
