6 FAQs about [Technical requirements for energy storage in source-network testing]

Do energy storage test protocols work in different regions?

One of the Energy Storage Partnership partners in this working group, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, has moved forward to collect and analyze information about the existing energy storage test protocols and their use in different regions around the world. This chapter summarizes that information for several key regions globally.

What is ESIC's energy storage test manual?

ESIC’s Energy Storage Test Manual presents specific, detailed, reproducible test procedures for utilities, research laboratories, and other testing entities when evaluating energy storage systems.

Where can I find performance and testing protocols for stationary energy storage systems?

The United States has several sources for performance and testing protocols on stationary energy storage systems. This research focuses on the protocols established by National Labs (Sandia National Laboratories and PNNL being two key labs in this area) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Does industry need energy storage standards?

As cited in the DOE OE ES Program Plan, “Industry requires specifications of standards for characterizing the performance of energy storage under grid conditions and for modeling behavior. Discussions with industry professionals indicate a significant need for standards ” [1, p. 30].

Should energy storage safety test information be disseminated?

Another long-term benefit of disseminating safety test information could be baselining minimum safety metrics related to gas evolution and related risk limits for creation of a pass/fail criteria for energy storage safety testing and certification processes, including UL 9540A.

Are IEC and ISO developing standards for energy storage systems?

IEC and ISO are developing standards for storage systems. ISO is focusing in this area on electric vehicles and environmental management. This is not the subject of this study. IEC, on the contrary, develops many standards specifically for stationary application of energy storages.
