Energy storage line test

What is energy storage performance testing?

Performance testing is a critical component of safe and reliable deployment of energy storage systems on the electric power grid. Specific performance tests can be applied to individual battery cells or to integrated 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).

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 is a stored energy test?

The goal of the stored energy test is to calculate how much energy can be supplied discharging, how much energy must be supplied recharging, and how efficient this cycle is. The test procedure applied to the DUT is as follows: Specify charge power Pcha and discharge power Pdis Preconditioning (only performed before testing starts):

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 the electrical energy storage guide?

The Guide is designed as a reference document, with chapters relating to each stage of the project life cycle (e.g., procurement, installation, safety assessment, business case development). It also introduces various electrical energy storage technologies and the ways in which they can be used.
