IEEE 2686-2024

IEEE Approved Draft Recommended Practice for Battery Management Systems in Energy Storage Applications

This document includes information and recommendations on the design, configuration, and interoperability of battery management systems in stationary applications. It considers the battery management system to be a functionally distinct component of a battery energy storage system that includes active functions necessary to protect the battery from modes of operation that could impact its safety or longevity. It provides recommendations on how to configure a battery management system to protect a given battery type in each application environment. Lastly, it stipulates recommended communication structures and data models that help support interoperability and cybersecurity. The result is a comprehensive list of best practices around the design and integration of battery management systems that protect the safety and longevity of batteries in energy storage applications.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
