GB/T 42317-2023Code for emergency exercises of electrochemical energy storage station (English PDF)

Foreword

This document was issued on 17 March 2023 by the State Administration for Market Regulation; Standardization Administration of the PRC and takes effect on 1 October 2023.

It is a GB/T standard: recommended rather than compulsory, but it is the text a Chinese reviewer applies when assessing a submission.

1 Scope

GB/T 42317-2023 sets out how an electrochemical energy storage station runs an emergency exercise against a production safety accident: how the exercise is planned, prepared, carried out, judged afterwards and fed back into the plan. Plan preparation starts from the station's own contingency plan and its actual situation. Work preparation builds the organisation the exercise needs, beginning with a commander-in-chief who is answerable for it, and the process implementation clause, much the longest, covers the filing with the relevant government departments, the notice given to the units involved, the record kept while the exercise runs, and the conduct of the exercise itself. Evaluation and summary and continual improvement close the loop, and an informative appendix gives implementation steps for cell fire exercises by chemistry, covering lithium-ion, lead-acid or lead-carbon, and sodium-ion cells. The reason for rehearsing lies in the failure mode: a cell that goes into thermal runaway takes the container with it faster than an unrehearsed crew can settle who is in charge, and the first minutes decide whether the event stays inside one rack. For storage station operators and their safety staff, for owners writing operation and maintenance contracts, and for the local emergency services who would be called out.

This document specifies the requirements for emergency exercise plan preparation,

work preparation, process implementation, evaluation and summary, as well as

continuous improvement for production safety accidents of electrochemical energy

storage station.

This document applies to emergency exercises of electrochemical energy storage

station with lithium-ion cell, flow cell, lead-acid (carbon) cell, sodium-ion cell, water-

electrolysis-produced hydrogen/fuel cell as energy storage carriers.

Terms and definitions determined by DL/T 2528 and the following are applicable to

this document.

4.4 The emergency exercise of electrochemical energy storage station shall be reported

to the superior unit of the power station and the competent department of the local

government in advance. Also, the relevant surrounding units shall be notified and

informed of the relevant information of the emergency exercise.

4.5 Before the emergency exercise of electrochemical energy storage station, the

information such as the quantity, quality, and inspection status of the emergency
