IEC TS 62257-9-5:2018 applies to stand-alone renewable energy products. This document deals essentially with off-grid renewable energy products with batteries and solar modules with DC system voltages not exceeding 35 V and peak power ratings not exceeding 350 W. The tests contained herein are capable in many cases of adequately assessing systems at higher voltages and/or power ratings. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:- replaced the term "stand-alone lighting kits" with "stand-alone renewable energy products" throughout the document (including the title) to reflect that the revised document is applicable to a broader range of products with a more diverse set of capabilities.- added test methods for flooded lead-acid batteries.- significantly revised the protection tests, assessment of DC ports, appliance tests, and energy service calculations based on field experience.- revised the voltage operating points at which testing is carried out to better reflect actual operation and to simplify the procedures for testing products without lights.- revised the energy service calculations to include the effect of multiple simultaneously connected loads on the port voltage and battery-to-port efficiency and to accommodate products with grid or electromechanical charging.
IEC TS 62257-9-5:2016(E) applies to stand-alone rechargeable electric lighting appliances or kits that can be installed by a typical user without employing a technician. It presents a quality assurance framework that includes product specifications, test methods, and standardized specification sheets. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - battery test methods updated to harmonize with existing IEC standards, sequence of testing changed to allow the battery to be charged using the product's charge controller prior to the full-battery run time test; - limits on total series resistance of the test apparatus added to test procedures.
IEC TS 62257-9-5:2024 provides support and strategies for institutions involved in rural electrification projects. It documents technical approaches for designing, building, testing, and maintaining off-grid renewable energy and hybrid systems with AC nominal voltage below 500 V, DC nominal voltage below 750 V and nominal power below 100 kVA. The purpose of this document is to specify laboratory test methods for evaluating the quality assurance of stand-alone renewable energy products. This document is specifically related to renewable energy products that are packaged and made available to end-use consumers at the point of purchase as single, stand-alone products that do not require additional system components to function. This document establishes the framework for creating a product specification, the basis for evaluating quality for a particular context. Product specifications include minimum requirements for quality standards and warranty requirements. This document applies to stand-alone renewable energy products having the following characteristics: This document was written primarily for off-grid renewable energy products with batteries and PV modules with DC system voltages not exceeding 35 V and peak power ratings not exceeding 350 W. This document includes provisions related to safety; however, it is not intended to be a comprehensive safety standard. In particular, this document is not intended to be used as an alternative to safety standards such as IEC 62368-1 or IEC 60335 (all parts) for appliances such as radios and televisions that are included with stand-alone renewable energy products
