Given the scale of energy storage systems and the value of the equipment involved, security is another top concern for BESS installations. These systems are often located in remote or semi-isolated areas, making them vulnerable to theft, vandalism, or sabotage. Therefore, implementing strong physical security measures is essential.
The battery system must follow the current National Electrical Code requirements: NFPA 855, “Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems”. The battery cell complies with UL 1642, “Standard for Lithium Batteries”. The battery module complies with UL 1973, “Batteries for Use in Light Electric Rail Applications and Stationary Applications”.
Telkes In recent years, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have become an essential part of the energy landscape. With a growing emphasis on renewable energy sources like solar and wind, BESS plays a crucial role in stabilizing the power grid and ensuring a reliable supply of electricity.
