BS EN IEC 62928:2018

What is BS EN IEC 62928 - Onboard lithium-ion traction batteries for Railway about?

BS EN IEC 62928 discusses onboard lithium-ion traction batteries for Railway applications. BS EN IEC 62928 outlines the design, operation parameters, safety recommendations, data exchange, routine, and type tests, as well as marking and designation.

Battery systems described in BS EN IEC 62928 are used for the energy storage system (ESS) for the traction power of railway vehicles such as hybrid vehicles.

BS EN IEC 62928 also covers subcomponents within the battery systems, e.g., battery management system (BMS) and battery thermal management system (BTMS).

BS EN IEC 62928 discusses the lithium-ion battery technology but does not prevent the use of battery technologies other than lithium-ion technology for application as traction batteries.

Note 1: Auxiliary batteries to supply power only to the auxiliary equipment are excluded.

Note 2: A hybrid energy storage system, which uses two or more energy storage technologies combined, e.g., a traction battery and double-layer capacitors, are not covered under BS EN IEC 62928.

Note 3: Power conversion equipment (chopper, converter, etc.), inductors, capacitors and

Switchgear is excluded from BS EN IEC 6292.
