6 FAQs about [The latest energy storage inspection standards]

Are energy storage codes & standards needed?

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.

What are the safety standards for thermal energy storage systems?

The storage of industrial quantities of thermal energy, specifically in molten salt, is in a nascent stage. The ASME committee has published the first edition of TES-1, Safety Standards for Thermal Energy Storage Systems: Molten Salt. The storage primarily consists of sensible heat storage in nitrate salt eutectics and mixtures.

What is the energy storage standard?

The Standard covers a comprehensive review of energy storage systems, covering charging and discharging, protection, control, communication between devices, fluids movement and other aspects.

What if the energy storage system and component standards are not identified?

Table 3.1. Energy Storage System and Component Standards 2. If relevant testing standards are not identified, it is possible they are under development by an SDO or by a third-party testing entity that plans to use them to conduct tests until a formal standard has been developed and approved by an SDO.

Does industry need standards for energy storage?

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 pro-fessionals indicate a significant need for standards” [1, p. 30].

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.
