Filling gaps in energy storage C&S presents several challenges, including (1) the variety of technologies that are used for creating ESSs, and (2) the rapid pace of advances in storage technology and applications, e.g., battery technologies are making significant breakthroughs relative to more established.

Certification of ESS • Each component will bear a certification mark – Battery, Inverter, Controls – PV modules, etc. • Energy Storage System may be certified – UL9540 in North America •
Lithium-based battery system (BS) and battery energy storage system (BESS) products can be included on the Approved Products List. These products are assessed using the first three methods outlined in the Battery Safety Guide
By definition, a Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) is a type of energy storage solution, a collection of large batteries within a container, that can store and discharge electrical energy
First established in 2020 and founded on EPRI''s mission of advancing safe, reliable, affordable, and clean energy for society, the Energy Storage Roadmap envisioned a desired future for energy storage applications

Energy Storage Integration Council (ESIC) Guide to Safety in Utility Integration of Energy Storage Systems The ESIC is a forum convened by EPRI in which electric utilities guide a discussion
Discussions with industry professionals indicate a significant need for standards ” [1, p. 30]. Under this strategic driver, a portion of DOE-funded energy storage research and development (R&D) is directed to actively work with industry to fill energy storage Codes & Standards (C&S) gaps.
The authors support defining energy storage as a distinct asset class within the electric grid system, supported with effective regulatory and financial policies for development and deployment within a storage-based smart grid system in which storage is placed in a central role.
As cited in the DOE OE ES Program Plan, “Industry requires specifications of standards for characterizing the performance of energy storage under grid conditions and for modeling behavior. Discussions with industry professionals indicate a significant need for standards ” [1, p. 30].
The Standard covers a comprehensive review of energy storage systems, covering charging and discharging, protection, control, communication between devices, fluids movement and other aspects.
Next, we identify the limits to energy storage systems as a poorly defined asset class within the electric grid value chain, and demonstrate how creating a new asset class for storage will both enhance the value of storage and also provide significant benefits to the operation of the smart grid.
This is the source of its value, and defining storage as a new asset class would allow owners and operators to provide the highest-valued services across components of the grid. The benefits of energy storage depend on the flexibility in application inherent in system design and operation.
