Australian residential battery system standards | Image: Ricinator<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Further development of aspects of controversial Australian battery storage standards will be paused after a huge response to the draft of AS 5139.<\/p>\n

The public consultation period for the draft AS 5139 ended last week and resulted in more than three thousand comments being submitted, many in relation to how battery storage systems should be installed in residential scenarios.<\/p>\n

A particularly contentious issue was a requirement in the draft for some solar battery systems<\/a>, including lithium-ion chemistry based energy storage devices, to be installed outside and in a separate enclosure<\/a>. Such a requirement would substantially add to the cost of installing home energy storage; putting it out of reach of more Australian households.<\/p>\n

One of the parties to lodge a submission regarding the draft AS 5139 standard was the Clean Energy Council.\u00a0 The CEC stated<\/a> if home energy storage units meet an agreed upon set of appropriate international product safety standards and are installed by an accredited installer following clear guidelines, there should be no need for battery systems to be installed in a separate external enclosure.<\/p>\n

The CEC said the burden of demonstrating that products are safe<\/a> to use should be on the manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Given the response to the draft standard, Standards Australia announced late last week what it called “public policy tensions” need to be settled by respective governments before any further standards development work is progressed.<\/p>\n

“In Standards Australia\u2019s view, our technical committee is not the appropriate forum to resolve the public policy tensions related to public safety, clean energy and minimum residential construction requirements,” says a statement<\/a> from the organisation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Standards Australia has offered to bring key stakeholders together to commence a discussion and establish a framework to address the contentious public policy issues.<\/p>\n

“Standards Australia will continue to work with its technical committee and all stakeholders on this issue and hopes that a parallel policy dialogue will give our technical committee the guidance it needs to get on with the technical work.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, it says it will consider how to work with its technical committee on other aspects contained in the draft standard.<\/p>\n

Updated Battery Installation Guidelines<\/h2>\n

In related news, the CEC has developed updated and expanded comprehensive guidelines for battery installations, the result of\u00a0 extensive industry consultation. It says the guidelines “will continue to provide a platform to ensure the safety and quality of battery storage installations in Australia – something crucial for the future of this exciting technology.”<\/p>\n

The updated guidelines<\/a> will become mandatory on 1 November 2017 for installers who are accredited for battery installations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
