SAFETY PERFORMANCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS
Standards for land-based energy storage containers
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability Energy Storage Systems Program, with the support of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), and in collaboration with a number of stakeholders, developed a protocol (i.e., pre-standard) for measuring and expressing the performance characteristics for energy storage systems.
