Performance testing is a critical component of safe and reliable deployment of energy storage systems on the electric power grid. Specific performance tests can be applied to individual battery cells or to integrated energy storage systems.
We provide a range of energy storage testing and certification services. These services benefit end users, such as electrical utility companies and commercial businesses, producers of energy storage systems, and supply chain companies that provide components and systems, such as inverters, solar panels, and batteries, to producers.
The goal of the stored energy test is to calculate how much energy can be supplied discharging, how much energy must be supplied recharging, and how efficient this cycle is. The test procedure applied to the DUT is as follows: Specify charge power Pcha and discharge power Pdis Preconditioning (only performed before testing starts):
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are expected to be an integral component of future electric grid solutions. Testing is needed to verify that new BESS products comply with grid standards while delivering the performance expected for utility applications.
Energy storage systems are reliable and efficient, and they can be tailored to custom solutions for a company’s specific needs. Benefits of energy storage system testing and certification: We have extensive testing and certification experience.
Performance, in this context, can be defined as how well a BESS supplies a specific service. The various applications for energy storage systems (ESSs) on the grid are discussed in Chapter 23: Applications and Grid Services. A useful analogy of technical performance is miles per gallon (mpg) in internal combustion engine vehicles.
