This Energy Storage Best Practice Guide (Guide or BPGs) covers eight key aspect areas of an energy storage project proposal, including Project Development, Engineering, Project Economics, Technical Performance, Construction, Operation, Risk Management, and Codes and Standards.Do energy storage systems need a safety assessment?Safety Assessment: As more energy storage systems have become operational, new safety features have been mandated through various codes and standards, professional organizations, and learned best practices. The design and commissioning teams need to stay current so that required safety assessments can be performed during commissioning.
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 can energy storage C&S help the development of ESS projects?The resulting report, published in 2019, is a best 311] on how energy storage C&S can help facilitate the use of risk and financial tools needed for the development of larg-er ESS projects. Another financial example comes from the experiences of solar photovoltaic (PV) installation.
Can the energy storage industry access critical tools for 100 mw projects?The DOE sponsored an effort to gather input from traditional risk products and finance providers serving more established technologies (e.g., wind, gas generation) to identify how the energy storage industry can access critical tools needed for 100 MW or larger scale projects. The resulting report, published in 2019, is a best.
What safety standards affect the design and installation of ESS?As shown in Fig. 3, many safety C&S affect the design and installation of ESS. One of the key product standards that covers the full system is the UL9540 Standard for Safety: Energy Storage Systems and Equipment . Here, we discuss this standard in detail; some of the remaining challenges are discussed in the next section.
What is energy storage R&D?[1, p. 30]. Under this strategic driver, a portion of DOE-funded energy storage research and development (R&D) is directed to actively work with industry to fill energy storage Codes & Standards (C&S) gaps. A key aspect of developing energy storage C&S is access to leading battery scientists and their R&D in-sigh
