The Spanish Association for Standardisation, UNE, held a meeting in which it presented the new UNE 0075:2023 specification for the reuse of mobility batteries in stationary uses.
The standard establishes requirements for the re-use of cells, modules, battery packs and systems that were originally manufactured for other applications, such as vehicles, specifying the procedure for assessing their operation and safety.
The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is leading to the massive implementation of renewable energy sources, but the generation capacity of each of them depends on its specific environmental conditions. Intermediate storage systems such as batteries are thus necessary. But using new batteries would be too expensive, so it is necessary to use batteries designed for other uses, such as electric vehicles, which hold a residual capacity and offer adequate safety conditions for this storage, thus prolonging the useful life of these batteries before they are sent for recycling.
The event was attended by UNE's Director of Standardisation Programmes and Stakeholders, Paloma García; the Vice-President of BatteryPlat, Jesús Palma; Battery technology transfer and innovation manager at CIRCE – Technology Centre, Franco Di Persio; and the director of the Electrical Energy Storage Department of the Iberian Energy Storage Research Centre (CIIAE), Juan Manuel Pérez Rodríguez.
