What is Mesa-device & sunspec energy storage model?

MESA-Device specifies standardized communications between components within the ESS. MESA-Device Specifications/SunSpec Energy Storage Model addresses how energy storage components within an ESS communicate with each other and other operational components. MESA-Device specifications are built on the Modbus protocol.

What is energy storage R&D?

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. A key aspect of developing energy storage C&S is access to leading battery scientists and their R&D insights.

Does industry need energy storage standards?

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].
