MASTER CONTRACT: REPORT: 80028282 PROJECT: 80051872 N/A Page No: 6 Date Issued: Sep 30, 2020 UL 9540 A – Definition - “BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM (BESS)” - Stationary equipment that receives electrical energy and then utilizes batteries to store that energy for later use in order to supply electrical energy when needed. The BESS consists of one or more modules, a power conditioning system (PCS) and balance of plant components. a) INITIATING BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM UNIT (INITIATING BESS) – A BESS unit which has been equipped with resistance heaters in order to create the internal fire condition necessary for the installation level test (Section 8). b) TARGET BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM UNIT (TARGET BESS) – The enclosure and/or rack hardware that physically supports and/or contains the components that comprise a BESS. The target BESS unit does not contain energy storage components, but serves to enable instrumentation to measure the thermal exposure from the initiating BESS.
- “CELL” -The basic functional electrochemical unit containing an assembly of electrodes, electrolyte, separators, container, and terminals. It is a source of electrical energy by direct conversion of chemical energy. - “DUT” – Device under test. - “ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE HEATERS” – Devices that convert electrical energy supplied from a laboratory source into thermal energy. - “FLEXIBLE FILM HEATERS” – Electrical resistance heaters of a film, tape or otherwise thin sheet like construction that easily conform to the surface of cells. - “MODULE” – A subassembly that is a component of a BESS that consists of a group of cells or electrochemical capacitors connected together either in a series and/or parallel configuration (sometimes referred to as a block) with or without protective devices and monitoring circuitry. - “STATE OF CHARGE (SOC)” – The available capacity in a BESS, pack, module or cell expressed as a percentage of rated capacity. - “THERMAL RUNAWAY” – The incident when an electrochemical cell increases its temperature through self-heating in an uncontrollable fashion. The thermal runaway progresses when the cell’s generation of heat is at a higher rate than the heat it can dissipate. This may lead to fire, explosion and gas evolution.
- “UNIT” – A frame, rack or enclosure that consists of a functional BESS which includes components and subassemblies such a cells, modules, battery management systems, ventilation devices and other ancillary equipment.

Location of Initiating module within BESS: Heat Release Rate The convective heat release rate shall be calculated using the following equation: In which: HRRc = The convective heat release rate (kW) Ve = The exhaust velocity (m/s) A = The exhaust duct cross sectional area (m2) Te = The temperature at the location where exhaust velocity is measured (K) 353. 22/Te = The density of air at the velocity measurement location (kg/m3) To = The ambient temperature (K) in the test room T = The thermopile temperature (K) Cp = Specific heat of air (kJ/kg-K), given as Cp = A0 + A1T + A2T2 + A3T3, in which: A0 = 0. 9950 A1 = -5. 29933E-05 A2 = 3. 21022E-07 A3 = -1. 22004E-10 Heat Release Rate Calculation: The heat release rate equals to almost 0 KW in the stage when the unit was forced into thermal runaway as no fire ignited and no propagation occurred between adjacent cells after thermal runaway forced during the whole testing.
