IEC 62282-8-201:2024

IEC 62282-8-201:2024 defines the evaluation methods of typical performances for electric energy storage systems using hydrogen. It is applicable to the systems that use electrochemical reaction devices for both power charge and discharge. This document applies to systems that are designed and used for service and operation in stationary locations (indoor and outdoor). It specifies performance evaluation methods for electric energy storage systems using hydrogen that employ electrochemical reactions both for water and steam electrolysis and electric power generation. This document is intended for power-to-power systems which typically employ a set of electrolyser and fuel cell, or a reversible cell for devices of electric charge and discharge. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2020. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) consideration of systems connected to hydrogen supply infrastructure (hydrogen grids, vessels, caverns or pipelines); b) hydrogen input and output rate is added in the system parameters (5.10); c) electric energy storage capacity test is revised (6.2); d) roundtrip electrical efficiency test is revised (6.5); e) hydrogen input and output rate test is added (6.6.6).
