INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose The following Energy Storage System Test Manual is a series of detailed procedures developed by EPRI in concert with the Testing and Characterization Working Group of the Energy Storage Integration Council (ESIC). This manual addresses the performance and functional testing of energy storage systems (ESSs).
The Basic Testing and Characterization of Energy Storage Systems is intended to be storage- technology agnostic, encompassing all electricity -in, electricity -out energy storage technologies.
This manual addresses the performance and functional testing of energy storage systems (ESSs). The objective is to provide specific, detailed test procedures that are reproducible so that utilities and other testing entities can easily use them for the performance evaluation of energy storage systems . The key principles that guide this effort:
The key principles that guide this effort: • Tests should include “metrics of merit” that are important for understanding the value of storage in utility applications. • Terminology and scope should be consistent with the technical specification template terms/definitions .
Testing should ensure that the system is capable of complete electrical isolation of the storage system coupled with a local load, with no ability to charge or discharge to and from the grid. This may involve manual and automated islanding functions (see IEEE 1547 also).
Chemistries range from Li-Ion, NiMH, NaNiCl, NaS, ZnO, Na+, and PbSO4; and technologies range from standard to flow, metal, and super-capacitors. Practical difficulties with testing such a wide range of energy storage technologies include the wide range of applications, measurements, electrical connectivity, and digital communication protocols.
