One of three key components of that initiative involves codes, standards and regulations (CSR) impacting the timely deployment of safe energy storage systems (ESS). A CSR working group
Discover the key codes and standards governing battery safety and compliance in building and fire regulations. Learn about the various battery applications, types, and chemistries, along with safety guidelines and model codes ensuring safe
Energy storage systems continue to be a rapidly evolving industry. Thus, the key to safe and up-to-date compliance requirements involves the adoption and application of codes and standards in addition to the development or writing of codes and standards.
A Battery Energy Storage System container is more than a metal shell—it is a frontline safety barrier that shields high-value batteries, power-conversion gear and auxiliary electronics from mechanical shock, fire risk and harsh climates.
In some contexts, for energy storage systems, compliance regulations take the form of a state adopting a code, which then references and requires testing and listing or adherence to a standard. Some cities, counties, and special administrative districts (e.g., school or sewer districts) also adopt locally amended codes for their environments.
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].
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.
These policies come in many forms, such as mandates, financial incentives, and new regulations, but they share a common goal of facilitating the deployment of energy storage on the electric grid. In recent years, several states have enacted sweeping energy storage legislation that implements multiple energy storage policies at once (PNNL 2022).
