How should battery energy storage system specifications be based on technical specifications?

Battery energy storage system specifications should be based on technical specification as stated in the manufacturer documentation. Compare site energy generation (if applicable), and energy usage patterns to show the impact of the battery energy storage system on customer energy usage. The impact may include but is not limited to:

What are the customer requirements for a battery energy storage system?

Any customer obligations required for the battery energy storage system to be installed/operated such as maintaining an internet connection for remote monitoring of system performance or ensuring unobstructed access to the battery energy storage system for emergency situations. A copy of the product brochure/data sheet.

What equipment do I need to install a battery energy storage system?

Any bollards required to be installed in front of battery energy storage system. Safety exclusion zone around battery energy storage system if required. Location of main switchboard. Any other existing NET on site.

Do electric energy storage systems need to be tested?

It is recognized that electric energy storage systems consist of components, each having limited functions, and all of which need to be tested for those functions in accordance with this standard.

Can a battery energy storage system be installed in Australia?

Any upgrades to existing site electrical infrastructure required to install proposed battery energy storage system. All components of the system should be suitable for installation under Australian legislation and Standards.

What is a safety standard for stationary batteries?

The safety standard for stationary batteries for energy storage applications, non-chemistry specific and including electrochemical capacitor systems or hybrid electrochemical capacitor and battery systems, is included in this document. It covers requirements for unique technologies such as flow batteries and sodium beta (i.e., sodium sulfur and sodium nickel chloride).
