This report is a follow-on companion to the initial EM Commissioning Experience Report, issued in January 2015. That report examined seven EM facilities to glean applicable lessons learned.
Commissioning helps insure that a system was correctly designed, installed and tested. The value of commissioning is to insure proper operation of the energy storage system, safety systems,
This report is made available by the Supercharging Battery Storage Initiative, a workstream of the Clean Energy Ministerial, co-led by the governments of Australia and the European
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
Safety Assessment: As more energy storage systems have become operational, new safety features have been mandated through various codes and standards, professional organizations, and learned best practices. The design and commissioning teams need to stay current so that required safety assessments can be performed during commissioning.
ing supply and demand (see Figure 9). However, battery storage systems helped bridge the gap by providing stored energy when solar generation was unavailable, demonstrating their importance in enhancing grid resilience and ensuring uninterrupted energy supply, especially in regions heavil
Energy storage systems (ESS) store energy in batteries until needed. These systems capture generated energy (often paired with renewable sources such as wind or solar) and supply it to end users during off hours. The battery ESS consists of multiple battery cells, creating a large system with capacities in the hundreds of kilowatt-hours.
Global incidents underscore the critical need for proactive risk mitigation. The Hazardous Mitigation Analysis (HMA) and mandatory UL 9540 and 9540A testing are crucial components of the design and commissioning process for any reasonably sized Energy Storage System (ESS).
Commissioning is a required process in the start-up of an energy storage system. This gives the owner assurance that the system performs as specified. A Commissioning Plan prepared and followed by the project team can enable a straightforward and timely process, ensuring safe and productive operation following handoff.
