While annual inspections aren''t always legally required, they remain the gold standard for ensuring energy storage system safety and performance. Smart operators combine regular checkups with real
Contact UsReliable data backup and storage should be provided. A best practice is for data loggers to store 6 months of data and to backup data to cloud storage. A reliable method to “backhaul” the data is required. Most connect to the internet via DSL, but be aware that many site owners will not allow the solar monitoring system to use the site network.
Photo by Owen Roberts, NREL Considerations for energy storage system testing include the following. If cost-justified by a large purchase, consider qualification testing of battery systems. Include test conditions in specifications for battery O&M diagnostics and testing.
The requirements for periodic maintenance for energy storage products should be identified by the OEM (IEEE 2010). In settings where predictive analytics maintenance is economical, guidance should also be available from the manufacturer that identifies methodologies for assessing when a product may be approaching a failure mode.
Solar plant operators require monitored data to analyze and identify the root cause of performance issues observed by the operator. It is critical to identify the root cause of failure to reduce maintenance costs when dispatching service providers.
