Design and Installation of Electrical Energy Storage Systems:
Learn the key requirements for designing and installing Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS) in compliance with IRC, IECC, UL 9540, and NFPA 70 codes. A must-read
This will include an overview of the problem(s) to be solved, system and safety requirements, codes and standards that need to be adhered to, and general specifications of the size of the system in energy and power units, as well as any other specific features and the general terms and conditions.
Ideally, the power electronic equipment, i.e., inverter, battery management system (BMS), site management system (SMS) and energy storage component (e.g., battery) will be factory tested together by the vendors. Figure 2. Elements of a battery energy storage system
Each subsystem must pass a factory witness test (FWT) before shipping. (Note: The system owner reserves the right to be present for the factory witness test.) This is the first real step of the commissioning process—which occurs even before the energy storage subsystems (e.g., power conditioning equipment and battery) are delivered to the site.
The following commissioning requirements will be verified during the commissioning process: specifications, codes and standards, safety requirements, applications, and testing. In the Procurement and Design phase, a vendor/contractor is chosen, i.e., a bid is accepted by the owner for construction and installation of the system.
