FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this terminology document is to provide terms and definitions for all the
publications under the responsibility of TC 120, that standardize electrical energy storage
systems (EES systems) including unit parameters, test methods, planning, installation, safety
and environmental issues. An EES system includes any type of grid-connected energy
storage which can both store electrical energy and provide electrical energy (from electricity
to electricity).
All TC 120 normative documents are subject to revision, this part of IEC 62933 will be revised
together with other TC 120 publications in order to avoid mismatches.
From the technical point of view, an EES system can be a complex multi stage system with
several possible energy conversions. Each stage is made by components well standardized
(e.g. transformers, power converter systems) or innovative components (e.g. new types of
batteries). Several IEC product standards give definitions necessary for the understanding of
certain terms used for these components. The International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV,
IEC 60050, http://www.electropedia.org), the IEC Glossary (http://std.iec.ch/glossary) and the
ISO Online Browsing Platform (OBP, http://www.iso.org/obp) allow on-line access to this
information. This terminology document completes the scenario by giving definitions
necessary at the system level.
Without a strong standardization of EES systems terminology, focal terms can have a different
meaning in EES systems related to different storage technologies. This aspect is critical also
from the market point of view, it impacts economics and this can become a barrier for tender
processes. The correct comparison among different options is fundamental, therefore basic
terms and definitions impact economic decisions.
Terms and definitions have been harmonized with the IEV, the OBP, the IEC Glossary and
other IEC documents as far as possible. Definitions not included in this terminology document
may be found elsewhere in other IEC documents.
The use of abbreviated terms has been optimized, on the one hand to avoid tedious repetition
and, on the other hand to avoid confusion. A minimu
