IET Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems, 3rd Edition
Practical, up-to-date guidance for the safe specification, design, installation and operation of electrical energy storage systems.
The Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems, 3rd Edition provides practical guidance for professionals working with Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS), helping them understand how these systems can be safely specified, designed, installed, commissioned, operated and maintained.
Electrical Energy Storage Systems allow electrical energy to be stored for later use and may be installed for a wide variety of purposes, including increasing the self-consumption of buildings fitted with renewable energy systems, providing arbitrage and ancillary services, and delivering a back-up or alternative power supply.
This third edition builds on the previous edition while bringing the guidance up to date with the latest developments in the electrical energy storage market.
From domestic installations through to commercial and industrial applications, the Code provides a focused technical reference for practitioners working with fixed electrical energy storage systems and their integration into low voltage AC and DC power systems.
