IEEE 1679.1-2017

IEEE Guide for the Characterization and Evaluation of Lithium-Based Batteries in Stationary Applications

Guidance for an objective evaluation of lithium-based energy storage technologies by a potential user for any stationary application is provided in this document. IEEE Std 1679-2010, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Characterization and Evaluation of Emerging Energy Storage Technologies in Stationary Applications is to be used in conjunction with this document. Secondary (rechargeable) electro-chemistries with lithium ions as the active species exchanged between the electrodes during charging and discharging are included in the category of lithium-based batteries for the purposes of this document. Lithium-ion, lithium-ion polymer, lithium-metal polymer, and lithium-sulfur batteries are examples of secondary lithium-based batteries. Primary (non-rechargeable) lithium batteries are beyond the scope of this document. A technology description, information on aging and failure modes, a discussion on safety issues, evaluation techniques, and regulatory issues are provided in this document. Sizing, installation, maintenance, and testing techniques are not covered, except insofar as they may influence the evaluation of a lithium-based battery for its intended application.

P1679.1
Guide for the Characterization and Evaluation of Lithium-Based Batteries in Stationary Applications

This document provides guidance for an objective evaluation of lithium-based energy storage technologies by a potential user for any stationary application. This document is to be used in conjunction with IEEE Std 1679-2020, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Characterization and Evaluation of Energy Storage Technologies in Stationary Applications. nFor the purposes of this document, lithium-based batteries include those secondary (rechargeable) electrochemistries with lithium ions as the active species exchanged between the electrodes during charging and discharging. Examples of secondary lithium-based batteries are lithium-ion, lithium-ion polymer, and lithium-sulfur batteries. Emerging solid-state lithium technologies are also discussed. Primary (non-rechargeable) lithium batteries are beyond the scope of this document.nWhile this document does not cover lithium-based batteries used in mobile applications, the information provided is applicable to electric vehicle or similar batteries that are repurposed for use in stationary applications. This document also applies to batteries that are stationary when in operation but are intended to be relocated, for example, containerized or trailer-mounted systems.nThe outline of IEEE Std 1679-2020 is followed in this document, with tutorial information specific to lithium-based batteries provided as appropriate. Examples of tutorial information include technology descriptions, operating parameters, failure modes, safety information, battery architecture, and qualification and application considerations.nThis document does not cover sizing, installation, maintenance, and testing techniques, except insofar as they may influence the evaluation of a lithium-based battery for its intended application.

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
