6 FAQs about [Capacity requirements for energy storage system related equipment]

What if energy storage system and component standards are not identified?

Energy Storage System and Component Standards 2. If relevant testing standards are not identified, it is possible they are under development by an SDO or by a third-party testing entity that plans to use them to conduct tests until a formal standard has been developed and approved by an SDO.

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.

Does industry need standards for energy storage?

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 pro-fessionals indicate a significant need for standards” [1, p. 30].

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 should be included in a battery energy storage quote?

Safety exclusion zone around battery energy storage system if required. Location of main switchboard. Any other existing NET on site. Quotation should indicate whether the battery energy storage system is portable for customers to relocate to a different location in the future.

Do electric energy storage systems need to be tested?

It is recognized that electric energy storage equipment or systems can be a single device providing all required functions or an assembly of components, each having limited functions. Components having limited functions shall be tested for those functions in accordance with this standard.
