To mitigate risks, a range of codes and standards guide the design, installation, operation, and testing of energy storage systems.
Until existing model codes and standards are updated or new ones developed and then adopted, one seeking to deploy energy storage technologies or needing to verify an installation''s safety may be
As one gains understanding of the increasing number of new battery chemistries, and the associated risk factors, it is hard to justify maintaining an outdated Code base unless that Code is regularly
