For a Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the components must comply with all codes and standards relevant to the operation and installation of energy storage equipment. All installed equipment must be tested and approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or another nationally recognized testing facility.
The BESS and associated equipment shall be provided in self-contained National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) enclosure(s) rated for the site conditions.
The Bess (Battery Energy Storage System) submittal process includes a detailed plan surrounding battery cell thermal runaway detection and mitigation systems. A visible disconnect will be installed that isolates Bess in accordance with utility interconnection requirements.
A BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) shall be commissioned per the Electric Power Resource Institute (EPRI) 'ESIC Energy Storage Commissioning Guide' or by a similar standard reviewed and approved by the Agency. Contractor shall give the Agency ten (10) business days advance notice prior to starting commissioning.
Energy Trust reserves the right to require compliance with installation specifications that may exceed manufacturer or code requirements. Any variations from the Program''s installation requirements shall
