Energy storage battery network access test process

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 battery energy storage system (BESS)?

The most dominant technology being deployed in recent years across the electric grid are battery energy storage systems (BESSs), which interconnect to both distribution and transmission systems.

Why do you need ESS battery testing?

Stationary lithium-ion storage systems, which are increasingly popular due to their energy density and cyclic strength, impose special demands on safety which must be met. ESS battery testing provides multiple benefits to you as manufacturer and to your customers:

Can a stationary energy storage system adapt to other energy storage systems?

In regions where there is an absence of extensive or relevant protocols for stationary energy storage systems, there may be the ability to adapt or expand on protocols for other energy storage systems that are available.

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.
