Energy storage product standardization

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].

What is a battery energy storage system model?

The battery energy storage system model consists of the renewable energy plant control (REPC_A) model, the renewable energy electrical control (REEC_C) model, and the renewable energy generator/converter control (REGC_A) model. Figure 3. The block diagram of the battery energy storage system .

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-sights.

Does energy storage need C&S?

Energy storage has made massive gains in adoption in the United States and globally, exceeding a gigawatt of battery-based ESSs added over the last decade. While a lack of C&S for energy storage remains a barrier to even higher adoption, advances have been made and efforts continue to fill remain-ing gaps in codes and standards.

What are the comparison factors of a battery energy storage system?

The comparison factors of the strategies include the RoCoF, frequency nadirs, frequency recovery, and system oscillation regulation. The capability of limiting the RoCoF is evaluated using the output power of the battery energy storage system when the fault occurs.

Should energy storage safety test information be disseminated?

Another long-term benefit of disseminating safety test information could be baselining minimum safety metrics related to gas evolution and related risk limits for crea-tion of a pass/fail criteria for energy storage safety test-ing and certification processes, including UL 9540A.
