What does fat mean in the energy storage industry

What is fat for energy storage battery systems?

FAT for energy storage battery systems typically includes the following components: Visual Inspection: Checking for physical damages, proper labeling, and adherence to design specifications. Electrical Testing: Verifying electrical performance, including voltage, current, and capacity measurements.

What are the primary objectives of fat for energy storage battery systems?

The primary objectives of FAT for energy storage battery systems include: Verification of Design and Specifications: Ensuring the system meets the design specifications and performance requirements outlined in the contract. Functional Testing: Confirming that the system operates correctly under different conditions and scenarios.

Why do energy projects need fats & SATs?

FATs and SATs are a staple of energy projects’ quality plans. They are initially justified by the fact that the client is buying (or installing) equipment, and therefore the system’s original safety and performance parameters must be verified.

What is factory acceptance testing (FAT)?

Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) is a crucial phase in the production of energy storage battery systems. It ensures that the systems meet the specified design and performance criteria before they are delivered to the customer. This testing phase involves a series of comprehensive checks and evaluations conducted in the manufacturer’s facility.

What happens after fat?

Upon completion of FAT, a detailed report is generated, documenting all tests performed, results obtained, and any discrepancies or issues identified. This report is reviewed and approved by both the manufacturer and the customer. Any issues found during FAT must be resolved before the system is shipped to the installation site.

What is the difference between Sat & Fat?

Timing: FAT: Occurs before equipment shipment. SAT: Occurs after equipment installation. Scope: FAT: Focuses on equipment functionality, safety, and standards compliance. SAT: Focuses on integration, performance validation, and site-specific conditions. Participants: FAT: Involves manufacturer, customer, and potentially third-party inspectors.
