6 FAQs about [Safety rules for grid-connected energy storage]
Should energy storage be connected to the grid?
Safely, reliably, and cost-effectively connecting energy storage to the grid requires that utilities and customers follow interconnection rules that dictate both procedural elements and technical requirements.
What are the three main aspects of grid-connected energy storage?
This RP focuses on recommendations for three main aspects of grid-connected energy storage: safety, operation and performance. These aspects will be assessed for electricity storage systems in general, but also with emphasis on certain battery technologies (lead-acid, Li-ion and redox flow) and Li-ion capacitors.
What are the safety requirements for electrical energy storage systems?
Electrical energy storage (EES) systems - Part 5-3. Safety requirements for electrochemical based EES systems considering initially non-anticipated modifications, partial replacement, changing application, relocation and loading reused battery.
What is a 'grid scale' battery storage guidance document?
Frazer-Nash are the primary authors of this report, with DESNZ and the industry led storage health and safety governance group (SHS governance group) providing key insights into the necessary content. This guidance document is primarily tailored to ‘grid scale’ battery storage systems and focusses on topics related to health and safety.
Should energy storage be co-located with energy generation?
From a safety perspective, consideration should be given to the nature of surrounding sites and the potential for increased risk if hazards such as fire were to propagate from one site to the other (particularly where those sites also have an elevated fire risk). Co-locating energy storage with energy generation is becoming increasingly common.
What are electric storage interconnection guidelines?
This document outlines electric storage interconnection guidelines for three different configurations: Case 1a: Stand-by energy storage — provision for facilities that require stand-by (backup) systems to provide power through onsite or grid-charged batteries.
