Energy storage product performance test

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.

Do energy storage test protocols work in different regions?

One of the Energy Storage Partnership partners in this working group, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, has moved forward to collect and analyze information about the existing energy storage test protocols and their use in different regions around the world. This chapter summarizes that information for several key regions globally.

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. Applications include renewable integration, frequency regulation, critical backup power, peak shaving, load leveling, and more.

Who are the authors of a protocol for measuring energy storage systems?

David R. Conover, Alasdair J. Crawford, Summer R. Ferreira, Jason Fuller, Sri Nikhil Gourisetti, David M. Rosewater, David A. Schoenwald, Vilayanur Viswanathan. Protocol for Uniformly Measuring and Expressing the Performance of Energy Storage Systems. Pacific Northwest National Labs and Sandia National Labs Report, 2016.

What is a performance test?

The procedures are divided into reference performance tests, which require the system to be put in a test mode and are to be conducted in intervals, and real-time monitoring tests, which collect data during normal operation without interruption.
