Energy storage test engineer assessment objectives

What are some useful reports about energy storage testing?

Below is a non-exhaustive list of valuable reports that the working group has relied on when becoming familiar with storage testing. “Electric energy storage – future storage demand” by International Energy Agency (IEA) Annex ECES 26, 2015, C. Doetsch, B. Droste-Franke, G. Mulder, Y. Scholz, M. Perrin.

What are energy storage systems?

Energy storage systems (ESSs), and particularly battery energy storage systems, are finding their way into a very wide range of applications for utilities, commercial, industrial, military and residential power. Applications include renewable integration, frequency regulation, critical backup power, peak shaving, load leveling, and more.

What is EES performance test?

Scope: This recommended practice focuses on the performance test of the electrical energy storage (EES) system in the application scenario of PV-storage-charging stations with voltage levels of 10 kV and below.

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).

What is a solar energy test?

From ‘Bundersverband Energiespeicher’ in Germany. It provides test methods to determine the energy efficiency of home solar storage systems. It discerns the efficiency and energy losses of the inverter(s) and the battery separately.

Who are the authors of a protocol for measuring energy storage systems?

David R. Conover, Alasdair J. Crawford, Summer R. Ferreira, Jason Fuller, Sri Nikhil Gourisetti, David M. Rosewater, David A. Schoenwald, Vilayanur Viswanathan. Protocol for Uniformly Measuring and Expressing the Performance of Energy Storage Systems. Pacific Northwest National Labs and Sandia National Labs Report, 2016.
