What is BS EN IEC 62282‑8‑201 about?
BS EN IEC 62282‑8‑201 is a part of multi-series international standards, that discusses fuel cell technology.
BS EN IEC 62282‑8‑201 gives guidance about measurement instruments and measurement methods, system parameters, test methods, and procedures as well as test reports for estimating the performance of power-to-power systems for energy storage purposes.
BS EN IEC 62282‑8‑201 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.
Note: BS EN IEC 62282‑8‑201 applies to systems that are designed and used for service and operation in stationary locations (indoor and outdoor).
Who is BS EN IEC 62282‑8‑201 for?
BS EN IEC 62282‑8‑201 on the performance of power-to-power systems is useful for:
- Manufacturers of fuel cell modules
- Dealers and importers of fuel cell modules
- Testing houses/ service providers for fuel cell modules
- Developers and designers of fuel cell technologies
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62282‑8‑201?
A fuel cell power system or module is the complete set of components that integrate with the fuel cell stack so that electricity is produced.
BS EN IEC 62282‑8‑201 describes the test methods for evaluating the performance of power-to-power systems using hydrogen that employ electrochemical reactions both for water/steam electrolysis and electric generation, for electric energy storage systems applications.
BS EN IEC 62282‑8‑201 gives you performance test methods based on electrochemical modules which combine both, electrolysis and fuel cells, particularly reversible fuel cells, for power storage and buffering systems. It also considers both the options of re-electrification and substance/heat production for sustainable integration of renewable energy sources.
The users of BS EN IEC 62282‑8‑201 may selectively execute test items suitable for their purposes.
