6 FAQs about [Owner s requirements for energy storage projects]
What are the safety requirements for energy storage technologies?
Safety: Minimum safety and operating requirements are common considerations for energy projects. Energy storage resources present additional safety concerns given their unique technological profiles. For battery storage technologies in particular, safety requirements should adequately address fire risks.
What permitting regimes apply to battery energy storage projects?
There are three distinct permitting regimes that apply in developing battery energy storage projects, depending upon the owner, developer, and location of the project. The increasing mandates and incentives for the rapid deployment of energy storage are resulting in a boom in the deployment of utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Do energy storage systems need a CSR?
Until existing model codes and standards are updated or new ones developed and then adopted, one seeking to deploy energy storage technologies or needing to verify an installation’s safety may be challenged in applying current CSRs to an energy storage system (ESS).
What are the operational limitations of energy storage?
Operating Limitations: Energy storage resources may be subject to operational constraints that do not affect traditional generation projects. For example, certain battery technologies will degrade more quickly if the state of charge is not actively managed within a certain range.
Is utility-scale Bess the future of energy storage?
Utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are and will in the near-future continue to be the technology of choice to meet energy storage requirements in California and other states.
Do electric energy storage systems need to be tested?
It is recognized that electric energy storage equipment or systems can be a single device providing all required functions or an assembly of components, each having limited functions. Components having limited functions shall be tested for those functions in accordance with this standard.
