Standards for Flow Batteries
Abstract
Standards are of great importance for the successful commercialization of new technologies in particular through standardization and to cover the requirements of clients and insurance companies. Last but not least, they also ensure safer and more environment friendly products and can reduce costs and open up new business models. Flow batteries are a new technology in terms of standards and commercialization. Today, more and more players are emerging worldwide in the flow battery manufacturing industry, as well as a variety of component suppliers. National and international standardization activities specifically for flow batteries began about ten years ago and are continuing to develop. In addition, there are also standards that address energy storage in general and should be of interest to the various players. This article, therefore, provides an overview of standardization activities and important standards for flow batteries, whereby no claim to completeness can be made due to the quantity of national and international standards. This article should therefore rather be understood as an introduction to the world of flow battery standardization.
