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 1679-2020, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Characterization and Evaluation of 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, and lithium-sulfur batteries are ex...

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. For 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 lithi...

Lithium-based batteries have been used in various, non-stationary standby applications for many years, such as consumer electronics and military applications. They are now commonplace in stationary energy storage applications and are beginning to be more commonly used in stationary standby applications. and, as such, there is a need to provide appropriate information on safety and operating conditions related to these applications. End-users would benefit from having a guide to assist in evaluation of this technology for stationary applications. Used with IEEE Std 1679-2020, this guide describes a format for the characterization of lithium-based battery tech...
