Photo by Owen Roberts, NREL Considerations for energy storage system testing include the following. If cost-justified by a large purchase, consider qualification testing of battery systems. Include test conditions in specifications for battery O&M diagnostics and testing.
The Bureau of Indian standards governs testing protocols for stationary energy storage systems for the country of India. As examples of standards, IS-1651 provides information on lead-acid cells and batteries using tubular positive plates and IS-1652 is for lead-acid cells and batteries with flat positive plates.
The United States has several sources for performance and testing protocols on stationary energy storage systems. This research focuses on the protocols established by National Labs (Sandia National Laboratories and PNNL being two key labs in this area) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
IEC and ISO are developing standards for storage systems. ISO is focusing in this area on electric vehicles and environmental management. This is not the subject of this study. IEC, on the contrary, develops many standards specifically for stationary application of energy storages.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of valuable reports that the working group has relied on when becoming familiar with storage testing. “Electric energy storage – future storage demand” by International Energy Agency (IEA) Annex ECES 26, 2015, C. Doetsch, B. Droste-Franke, G. Mulder, Y. Scholz, M. Perrin.
Combined PV and storage system topologies will generally require a bi-directional inverter, either as the primary inverter solution (DC-coupled) or in addition to the unidirectional PV inverters (AC-coupled).
