Governments and corporations around the world have pledged to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050, if not sooner. Those pledges are heavily dependent on massive deployments of wind and solar generation, which cannot be achieved without energy storage. For example, California’s latest integrated resource plan adopts a target of 25.5GW of supply-side renewable energy and 15GW of energy storage and demand response capacity by 2032. Fully exploiting the flexibility of energy storage, which can act as both generation and load, and can switch between the two in milliseconds, has been a challenge at both the distribution and transmission levels. IEEE interconnection standards have been evolving to reflect the growing role of energy storage in renewables integration and grid stabilization, and the need to gain the maximum benefit from this resource. With the same aim in mind, the PES Energy Storage & Stationary Battery Committee (ESSB) is sponsoring standards projects to provide best practices in the management of battery energy storage systems.
- To learn more & get involved, please check out the IEEE PES Energy Storage & Stationary Battery (ESSB) Committee website.
- Work has just been completed on IEEE Std 1547.9-2022, Guide to Using IEEE Standard 1547 for Interconnection of Energy Storage Distributed Energy Resources with Electric Power Systems, cosponsored with SCC 21. The guide was approved in June 2022 and should be published soon.
- The Active Projects page on the ESSB website details two projects relating to energy management: P2686, Draft Recommended Practice for Battery Management Systems in Energy Storage Applications; and P2688, Draft Recommended Practice for Energy Storage Management Systems in Energy Storage Applications (cosponsored with SCC 21). Anyone interested in participating is encouraged to contact the working group chair using the email linked provided.
- ESSB is sponsoring the IEEE Electrical Energy Storage Applications and Technologies (EESAT) 2022 in Austin, TX on November 7-9, 2022. Registration details will be posted shortly.
- SCC 21 sponsors the 1547 series of standards for interconnection of distributed energy resources, including the 1547.9 project recently completed in collaboration with ESSB, and the 2030 series of standards for smart grid interoperability.
- The PES Energy Development and Power Generation Committee sponsors the 2800 series of standards on interconnection of inverter-based resources at transmission level, including energy storage and hybrid plants. A backgrounder on the group’s activities, ‘Addressing Grid Reliability as Renewable Energy Integration Speeds Up,’ explains the need for these standards. An active project in the series is P2800.2, Recommended Practice for Test and Verification Procedures for Inverter-based Resources (IBRs) Interconnecting with Bulk Power Systems. To get involved, please check out the P2800.2 Working Group (WG) here.
