IEC TS 62898-3-2:2024 provides technical requirements for the operation of energy management systems of microgrids. This document applies to utility-interconnected or islanded microgrids. This document describes specific recommendations for low-voltage (LV) and medium-voltage (MV). . These factors motivate the need for integrated models and tools for microgrid planning, design, and operations at higher and higher levels of complexity. This complexity ranges from the inclusion of grid forming inverters, to integration with interdependent systems like thermal, natural gas. . Microgrids have emerged as an ideal solution to improve energy resilience, provide independence from an aging utility grid and reduce carbon emissions. However, the effective design and installation of a microgrid and its components hinges on in-depth knowledge of multiple electric codes.

In some contexts, for energy storage systems, compliance regulations take the form of a state adopting a code, which then references and requires testing and listing or adherence to a standard. Some cities, counties, and special administrative districts (e.g., school or sewer districts) also adopt locally amended codes for their environments.
Energy storage systems continue to be a rapidly evolving industry. Thus, the key to safe and up-to-date compliance requirements involves the adoption and application of codes and standards in addition to the development or writing of codes and standards.

In some contexts, for energy storage systems, compliance regulations take the form of a state adopting a code, which then references and requires testing and listing or adherence to a standard. Some cities, counties, and special administrative districts (e.g., school or sewer districts) also adopt locally amended codes for their environments.
NFPA 855 now explicitly ties the “Qualified Person” definition to energy storage systems rather than just generic electrical equipment. The definition emphasizes that a qualified person must have: Safety training to recognize, avoid, and mitigate ESS hazards.
Cumulative Installed Utility-Scale Battery Energy Storage, U.S. As Figure 1 shows, 2021 saw a remarkable increase in the deployment of battery energy storage in the U.S. Twice as much utility-scale battery energy storage was installed in 2021 alone—3,145 megawatts (MW)—than was installed in all previous years combined (1,372 MW) (EIA 2022).
These policies come in many forms, such as mandates, financial incentives, and new regulations, but they share a common goal of facilitating the deployment of energy storage on the electric grid. In recent years, several states have enacted sweeping energy storage legislation that implements multiple energy storage policies at once (PNNL 2022).
