Electrical Installation Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems
In stock
Electrical energy storage systems (EESS) are widely considered to be vital in supporting the low carbon transition, including managing renewable generation, supporting networks and helping decarbonise transportation. This course examines the design, modelling and installation of stationary EESS within the wider context of decarbonisation and flexibility.
Learners will gain an understanding of the 2nd Edition of the IET Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems, including the steps involved in the planning, installation and commissioning of electrical energy storage systems as well as safe system design. They will also learn how to best make electrical energy storage work to optimise usage of local generation, off-grid and parallel operation.
Topics covered in the course include major components, typical architectures, storage types, operating states, planning, inspection and testing, design, specification, modelling and safety. The course also looks at EESS operation and maintenance, handover and documentation, and network connection/DNO approval.

Reviews
“This is a comprehensive course covering a wide range of considerations for the implementation of energy storage solutions in the real world. It covers design considerations, sizing rationale, and integration with renewable solutions as well as implementing in a grid context. Thoroughly recommend for those wanting to get up to speed with real world energy storage solutions and applications.” – Keith Scoles, PowerIt Fwd

Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS) provide storage of electrical energy so that it can be used later. EESS may be installed for a variety of reasons, for example increasing the 'self-consumption' of buildings fitted with renewable energy systems; arbitrage services; ancillary services and providing a back-up or alternative power supply.
This Code of Practice looks at EESS applications and provides information for practitioners to safely and effectively specify, design, install, commission, operate and maintain a system. Buy Your Copy Now
