Battery energy storage systems (BESS)

Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) use batteries, for example lithium-ion batteries, to store electricity at times when supply is higher than demand. They can then later release electricity when it is needed. BESSs are therefore important for "the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy".

6 FAQs about [Domestic Energy Storage Battery Regulations]

Are domestic battery energy storage systems a safety hazard?

Even though few incidents with domestic battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are known in the public domain, the use of large batteries in the domestic environment represents a safety hazard. This report undertakes a review of the technology and its application, in order to understand what further measures might be required to mitigate the risks.

Should batteries be used for domestic energy storage?

The application of batteries for domestic energy storage is not only an attractive ‘clean’ option to grid supplied electrical energy, but is on the verge of offering economic advantages to consumers, through maximising the use of renewable generation or by 3rd parties using the battery to provide grid services.

What are the international standards for battery energy storage systems?

According to Appendix 1, there are international standards for domestic battery energy storage systems (BESSs). When a standard exists as a British standard (BS) based on a European (EN or HD) standard, the BS version is referenced. The standards are divided into the following categories: Safety standards for electrical installations.
