Table 3.1. Energy Storage System and Component Standards 2. If relevant testing standards are not identified, it is possible they are under development by an SDO or by a third-party testing entity that plans to use them to conduct tests until a formal standard has been developed and approved by an SDO.
The Standard covers a comprehensive review of energy storage systems, covering charging and discharging, protection, control, communication between devices, fluids movement and other aspects.
It is recognized that electric energy storage equipment or systems can be a single device providing all required functions or an assembly of components, each having limited functions. Components having limited functions shall be tested for those functions in accordance with this standard.
A. Those persons that need to verify the safety of an ESS (e.g., AHJs or adopters of the codes and standards) need to develop a general familiarity with ESS technology and the safety issues that need to be addressed for specific ESS technologies, the provisions in adopted CSR, and a list of safety-related questions to ask of those proposing an ESS.
Until existing model codes and standards are updated or new ones developed and then adopted, one seeking to deploy energy storage technologies or needing to verify an installation’s safety may be challenged in applying current CSRs to an energy storage system (ESS).
Criteria provide fundamental safeguards for the installation, storage, use, and handling of compressed gases and cryogenic fluids in portable and stationary cylinders, containers, and tanks in all occupancy types. NEC is the benchmark for safe electrical design, installation and inspection to protect people and property from electrical hazards.
