In this edition of Code Corner, we''re talking about NFPA 855, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems. Specifically, we''re focused on spacing requirements and limitations for energy storage systems (ESS). NFPA 855 sets the rules in residential settings for each energy storage unit—how many kWh you can have per
mandatory requirements for, and explanations of, the safety strategies and features of energy storage systems (ESS). Applying to all energy storage technologies, the standard includes chapters for specific technology classes. The depth of this standard makes it a valuable resource for all Authorities Having Jurisdiction. The focus of the following overview is on how the
Chapter 52 provides high-level requirements for energy storage, mandating compliance with NFPA 855 for detailed requirements, effectively elevating the latter to the status of a code. NFPA 70 National Electrical Code (NEC) [B10]. Covers practical safeguarding of persons and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity. Since 2017, Article 706 has provided specific

The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) provides a customizable template for federal government agencies seeking to procure lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS). Agencies are encouraged to add, remove, edit, and/or change any of the template language to fit the needs and requirements of the agency.
UL 9540A testing is required if: group (unit) energy exceeds 50 kWh; separation between groups is less than 3 ft (0.9 m); or stored energy exceeds the maximum value in Table 9.4.1 of NFPA 855 (600 kWh for lithium-ion).
Energy storage systems must be installed to comply with Article 706 of the California Electrical Code. UL 1741 is the standard for inverters, some of which are included as part of the ESS, and
This article summarizes key codes and standards (C&S) that apply to grid energy storage systems. The article also gives several examples of industry efforts to update or
The purpose of this bulletin is to clarify specific requirements for residential energy storage systems (ESS) as defined under the 2021 IRC, specifically focusing on product safety standard listing, code required marking, and to clarify allowable locations. There are other requirements in IRC Section R328
This article summarizes key codes and standards (C&S) that apply to grid energy storage systems. The article also gives several examples of industry efforts to update or create new standards to remove gaps in energy storage C&S and to accommodate new and emerging energy storage technologies. While modern battery technologies, including lithium
Solar and energy storage equipment manufacturers introduce new equipment at seemingly lightning speed, and it can be difficult to keep on top of all the requirements. This article highlights the key codes and some of the top sections contractors working with solar PV and battery storage should be familiar with.

and safety requirements for battery energy storage systems. This standard places restrictions on where a battery energy storage system (BESS) can be located and places restrictions on other equipment located in close proximity to the BESS. As the BESS is considered to be a source of ignition, the requirements within this standard ensure that the unit is adequately protected from

There are other requirements in IRC Section R328 that are not within the scope of this bulletin. 2021 IRC Section R328.2 states: “Energy storage systems (ESS) shall be listed and labeled in accordance with UL 9540.” UL 9540-16 is the product safety standard for Energy Storage Systems and Equipment referenced in Chapter 44 of the 2021 IRC.
2021 IRC Section R328.2 states: “Energy storage systems (ESS) shall be listed and labeled in accordance with UL 9540.” UL 9540-16 is the product safety standard for Energy Storage Systems and Equipment referenced in Chapter 44 of the 2021 IRC. The basic requirement for ESS marking is to be “labeled in accordance with UL 9540.”
As cited in the DOE OE ES Program Plan, “Industry requires specifications of standards for characterizing the performance of energy storage under grid conditions and for modeling behavior. Discussions with industry professionals indicate a significant need for standards ” [1, p. 30].
Table 3.1. Energy Storage System and Component Standards 2. If relevant testing standards are not identified, it is possible they are under development by an SDO or by a third-party testing entity that plans to use them to conduct tests until a formal standard has been developed and approved by an SDO.
Under the Energy Storage Safety Strategic Plan, developed with the support of the Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability Energy Storage Program by Pacific Northwest Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories, an Energy Storage Safety initiative has been underway since July 2015.
The 2017 NEC is likely to replace references to ESS installation in Article 480 and has proposed a new Article 706 Energy Storage Systems that consider the application of electrochemical energy storage along with other types of energy storage that are referenced in other Articles within the code (e.g., PV, Wind, etc.)
