Measurements of battery energy storage system in conjunction with the PV system. Even though a few additions have to be made, the standard IEC 61850 is suited for use with a BESS. Since they restrict neither operation nor communication with the battery, these modifications can be implemented in compliance with the standard.
In addition to NYSERDA’s BESS Guidebook, ESA issued the U.S. Energy Storage Operational Safety Guidelines in December 2019 to provide the BESS industry with a guide to current codes and standards applicable to BESS and provide additional guidelines to plan for and mitigate potential operational hazards.
Two of the most notable standards in the United States are Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 9540 (Standard for Energy Storage Systems and Equipment) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 855 (Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems).
However, the DNV GL report concluded that the most commonly relied-upon standards for battery safety are insufficient to address the threat of thermal runaway (described herein) and explosion. The report recommends additional steps that should be taken, and these are included in the summary below.
Between 2011 and 2013, several major grid energy storage installations experienced fires (figure 1). As a result, leading energy storage industry experts recognized that technologies and installations were beginning to outpace existing standards.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 30-35%. Europe follows with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-6 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $500/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar energy storage battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 50% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,000/kW to $550/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 40% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $450/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $25,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $100,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
