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.
Discussions with industry professionals indicate a significant need for standards …” [1, p. 30]. Under this strategic driver, a portion of DOE-funded energy storage research and development (R&D) is directed to actively work with industry to fill energy storage Codes & Standards (C&S) gaps.
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].
As shown in Fig. 3, many safety C&S affect the design and installation of ESS. One of the key product standards that covers the full system is the UL9540 Standard for Safety: Energy Storage Systems and Equipment . Here, we discuss this standard in detail; some of the remaining challenges are discussed in the next section.
MESA has developed and manages two specifications: MESA-DER (formerly MESA-ESS) and MESA-Device/SunSpec Energy Storage Model . MESA-DER addresses communication between a utility’s control system and distributed energy resources (DERs), including ESSs. MESA-Device specifies standardized communications between components within the ESS.
