Designing a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) container in a professional way requires attention to detail, thorough planning, and adherence to industry best practices. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you design a BESS container: 1. Define the project requirements: Start by outlining the project's scope, budget, and timeline.
NYSERDA published the Battery Energy Storage System Guidebook, most-recently updated in December 2020, which contains information and step-by-step instructions to support local governments in New York in managing the development of residential, commercial, and utility-scale BESS in their communities.
In addition to NYSERDA’s BESS Guidebook, ESA issued the U.S. Energy Storage Operational Safety Guidelines in December 2019 to provide the BESS industry with a guide to current codes and standards applicable to BESS and provide additional guidelines to plan for and mitigate potential operational hazards.
1. Requirements and specifications: - Determine the specific use case for the BESS container. - Define the desired energy capacity (in kWh) and power output (in kW) based on the application. - Establish the required operational temperature range, efficiency, and system lifespan. 2. Battery technology selection:
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are one way to store energy so system operators can use their energy to soft transition from renewable power to grid power for uninterrupted supply. Ultimately, battery storage can save money, improve continuity and resilience, integrate generation sources, and reduce environmental impacts.
Finally, state and local building, fire, and zoning requirements should also be met. For the purposes of CPCN review and approval, we recommend that future CPCN applicants with battery storage systems be required to submit plans for battery siting, safety, and decommissioning to the PSC, for review and approval, before construction begins.
