Stationary applications: home storage systems on trial
Step 1: Safety assessment
Regulations of transport of dangerous goods (ADR) Operational safety (Safety Guideline for Li-Ion home storage systems)
Step 2: Performance assessment
Efficiency measurements Standby power consumption Degree of self-sufficiency Contribution to grid stability
Funded project and consulting of industry

Contribution to general safety standards of electrical energy storage systems Committee engagement to define safety standards in collaboration with industry representatives, testing institutes and research facilities:
Safety Guideline for Li-Ion home storage systems in 2014: Defines state-of-the-art and forms the basis for VDE-AR-E 2510-50 VDE-AR-E 2510-50:2017 (international interest to adapt this norm), DKE AK261.0.10: Safety requirements for stationary storage systems with Li-Ion batteries Revision of UN38.3 tests for transport of Li-Ion cells and batteries in preparation National implementation of RFG, e.g. VDE-AR-N 4105: Requirements for low voltage grid connection of production plants including battery storage systems Efficiency Guideline for PV home Storage systems

Grant proposal in progress Potential partners: and others…
Current activities– improve propagation testing
State-of-the-art procedures in norms to test propagation do not reflect the real behaviour:
Procedures in norms to create thermal runaway (TR) are unspecific The safer the cells, the higher the abuse to create a TR Some cells would not create TR even at EOL conditions
Nicolaus Lemmertz 08./09.03.2018
Develop a procedure to trigger an internal cell defect that is close to cell defects occuring in reality.
Enclosure for cell cycling

Summary & Outlook
KIT R&D covers the entire LIB value chain and various testing infrastructure is available KIT contributes in standardization processes
Infrastructure to improve propagation testing in preparation:
Develop procedure to create realistic internal failures If cells do not get into TR, which tests are required to prove this?
