6 FAQs about [Testing experience of energy storage]

What is energy storage performance testing?

Performance testing is a critical component of safe and reliable deployment of energy storage systems on the electric power grid. Specific performance tests can be applied to individual battery cells or to integrated energy storage systems.

What is a stored energy test?

The goal of the stored energy test is to calculate how much energy can be supplied discharging, how much energy must be supplied recharging, and how efficient this cycle is. The test procedure applied to the DUT is as follows: Specify charge power Pcha and discharge power Pdis Preconditioning (only performed before testing starts):

What is energy storage performance?

Performance, in this context, can be defined as how well a BESS supplies a specific service. The various applications for energy storage systems (ESSs) on the grid are discussed in Chapter 23: Applications and Grid Services. A useful analogy of technical performance is miles per gallon (mpg) in internal combustion engine vehicles.

Where can I find performance and testing protocols for stationary energy storage systems?

The United States has several sources for performance and testing protocols on stationary energy storage systems. This research focuses on the protocols established by National Labs (Sandia National Laboratories and PNNL being two key labs in this area) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

What are some useful reports about energy storage testing?

Below is a non-exhaustive list of valuable reports that the working group has relied on when becoming familiar with storage testing. “Electric energy storage – future storage demand” by International Energy Agency (IEA) Annex ECES 26, 2015, C. Doetsch, B. Droste-Franke, G. Mulder, Y. Scholz, M. Perrin.

What are energy storage systems?

Energy storage systems (ESSs), and particularly battery energy storage systems, are finding their way into a very wide range of applications for utilities, commercial, industrial, military and residential power.
