6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Energy Storage Site Topology Design Specifications and Standards”

What if the energy storage system and component standards are not identified?

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.

Do energy storage systems need a CSR?

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).

What is the new NEC Article 706 energy storage system?

The 2017 NEC is likely to replace references to ESS installation in Article 480 and has proposed a new Article 706 Energy Storage Systems that consider the application of electrochemical energy storage along with other types of energy storage that are referenced in other Articles within the code (e.g., PV, Wind, etc.)

What is the energy storage safety strategic plan?

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.

What is a safety standard for stationary batteries?

Safety standard for stationary batteries for energy storage applications, non-chemistry specific and includes electrochemical capacitor systems or hybrid electrochemical capacitor and battery systems. Includes requirements for unique technologies such as flow batteries and sodium beta (i.e., sodium sulfur and sodium nickel chloride).

Do electric energy storage systems need to be tested?

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.
