Summary

Recommendation ITU-T L.1220 introduces an open series of documents for different families of technologies (e.g., battery systems, super-capacitor systems) that will be enriched progressively as new technologies emerge that may significantly impact the field of energy storage.

With the increase of new technologies in energy storage there is need for a global overview of an energy storage system for use in stationary information and communication technology (ICT) installations in networks, data centres and customer premises equipment (CPE), and simple evaluation of acceptable duration and characterization methods for this specific purpose.

Identified parts of this Recommendation series, Innovative energy storage technology for stationary use, are:

–           Part 1: Overview of energy storage;

–           Part 2: Battery systems;

–           Part 3: Supercapacitor technology.
