Guide for procurement of power station equipment - Part 2-4: Electrical equipment - Stationary batteries and chargers
This standard gives guidance on writing the technical specification for the procurement of stationary batteries and chargers for use in electricity generating stations (power stations). This Guide for procurement is not applicable to equipment for use in the nuclear reactor plant area of nuclear power stations. Other possible applications of such equipment have not been considered in the preparation of this Guide. This Guide covers stationary lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries, chargers, battery accommodation battery main connections and battery accessories. This equipment usually forms part of either a centralised or unit d.c. supplies system for duties such as switchgear closing/tripping, protection, control, alarm, instrumentation and telecommunication supplies, emergency lighting and emergency drives. The equipment covered by this Guide is defined by its function rather than design type. Therefore, the guidance to the specification is stated in performance terms rather than being specified by a detailed description of the equipment to be supplied. This Guide indicates to potential purchasers how their specification should be prepared so that: - the equipment type and capacity interfaces correctly with other elements of the systems; - predicted performance is achieved; - ancillary equipment is properly sized; - reliability, availability and safety requirements are achieved; - proper consideration is given to the evaluation process and the quality measures to be applied. This Guide does not determine the type of specification (e.g. detailed, performance, functional) or the extent of supply for any given contract which is normally decided on the basis of the purchaser’s project strategy. It does not cover: - any commercial, contractual or legal issues which are normally in separate parts of an enquiry; - any allocation of responsibilities which are determined by the contract. This Guide does not prescribe the arrangement of the documents in the enquiry.

Overview
EN 45510-2-3:2000 (CLC) is a procurement guide for stationary batteries and chargers used in electricity generating stations (power stations). The standard gives guidance for writing technical specifications for stationary lead‑acid and nickel‑cadmium battery systems, associated chargers, battery accommodation, main connections and battery accessories. It addresses equipment defined by function (performance requirements) rather than prescribing detailed designs. The Guide is not applicable to equipment inside the nuclear reactor plant area of nuclear power stations and does not cover commercial or contractual allocation of responsibilities.
Key topics and technical requirements
The Guide focuses on the information purchasers need to prepare robust technical specifications that ensure safe, reliable DC power supplies. Major topics include:
- Functional scope: centralised or unit d.c. supply systems for duties such as switchgear closing/tripping, protection, control, alarm, instrumentation, telecommunication, emergency lighting and emergency drives.
- Performance‑based specification: defining required performance and interfaces rather than mandating specific construction types.
- Capacity and sizing: guidance on matching battery and charger capacity to system loads and ancillary equipment.
- Interfaces and integration: ensuring correct electrical and physical interfaces with other power station systems.
- Reliability, availability and safety: specifying targets and measures to achieve required operational availability and safe operation.
- Testing, evaluation and quality: recommendations on performance verification, acceptance tests, and quality measures for procurement evaluation.
- Installation considerations: accommodation, ventilation, main connections and accessory selection to support performance and safety.
The Guide does not prescribe the form of contract documents, the exact specification type (detailed vs performance), or the arrangement of enquiry documents.
Applications and who uses it
This standard is practical for:
- Power station owners/operators specifying DC backup and control supplies.
- Consulting engineers writing technical specifications for new or refurbished generating stations.
- Procurement teams and project managers preparing tender documents for battery and charger systems.
- Manufacturers and suppliers responding to tenders for stationary batteries, chargers and accessories.
Use cases include specifying battery systems for protection relays, emergency lighting, telecommunication backup, and station control systems where predictable DC performance, safety and integration are essential.
Related standards
- Part of the EN 45510 procurement guidance series for power station equipment.
- Should be used alongside applicable national and international battery and charger standards (for example IEC standards) and power station electrical design standards when detailing technical performance, testing and acceptance criteria.
