The Commission adopted in March 2023 a list of recommendations to ensure greater deployment of energy storage, accompanied by a staff working document, providing an outlook of the EU’s current regulatory, market, and financing framework for storage and identifies barriers, opportunities and best practices for its development and deployment.
Since the publication of the first Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan in 2014, there have been introductions of new technologies, new use cases, and new codes, standards, regulations, and testing methods. Additionally, failures in deployed energy storage systems (ESS) have led to new emergency response best practices.
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].
Several points to include when building the contract of an Energy Storage System: • Description of components with critical tech- nical parameters:power output of the PCS, ca- pacity of the battery etc. • Quality standards:list the standards followed by the PCS, by the Battery pack, the battery cell di- rectly in the contract.
Risks of energy storage in new applications: Codes, standards, and testing protocols for energy storage systems tend to focus on grid-scale deployments. However, energy storage is increasingly being used in new applications such as support for EV charging stations and home back-up systems.
A framework is provided for evaluating issues in emerging electrochemical energy storage technologies. The report concludes with the identification of priorities for advancement of the three pillars of energy storage safety: 1) science-based safety validation, 2) incident preparedness and response, 3) codes and standards.
