Siting and permitting considerations: It is essential for government partners and policymakers to create specific definitions, standards, and regulations for energy storage facilities, considering their unique attributes and distinct functions compared to traditional electrical generation facilities.
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 professionals indicate a significant need for standards …” [1, p. 30].
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.
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).
Under the Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan, developed with the support of the Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability Energy Storage Program by Pacific Northwest Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories, an Energy Storage Safety initiative has been underway since July 2015.
As shown in Fig. 3, many safety C&S affect the design and installation of ESS. One of the key product standards that covers the full system is the UL9540 Standard for Safety: Energy Storage Systems and Equipment . Here, we discuss this standard in detail; some of the remaining challenges are discussed in the next section.
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.
Siting and permitting considerations: It is essential for government partners and policymakers to create specific definitions, standards, and regulations for energy storage facilities, considering their unique attributes and distinct functions compared to traditional electrical generation facilities.
To address this lag between CSR and technology development and deployment, three critical components or gaps were identified at the workshop that must be immediately addressed: 1) the lack of standardized methods and the scientific basis necessary to validate system safety, 2) the need to update codes, standards and regulations relating to safet...
