Battery Energy Storage Systems represent the future of grid stability and energy efficiency. However, their successful implementation depends on the careful planning of key site requirements, such as regulatory compliance, fire safety, environmental impact, and system integration.
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.
Equipment must be raised a minimum of 1-foot above 100-year water surface elevation (site specific hydrology study required). 5. Integration with the Electrical Infrastructure Distribution or transmission system level interconnects may require extra real estate for utility infrastructure. 6. BESS Augmentation
Systems in these locations are also limited to 40 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of storage capacity. In all other locations noted above, the size limit is 80 kWh. On the exterior walls of the home, it’s important to note that systems cannot go within 3 feet of doors or windows leading directly into the home.
The foundations at battery storage facilities can vary drastically from site to site based on the soil conditions; battery size, weight, and quantity; and the local availability of technologies and materials and can have a significant impact on cost and schedule.
In all other locations noted above, the size limit is 80 kWh. On the exterior walls of the home, it’s important to note that systems cannot go within 3 feet of doors or windows leading directly into the home. And as we will soon discuss, code compliance for ESS in an attached garage can be much more complicated than systems in a detached garage.
