IEEE 2030.2-2015

This document provides guidelines for discrete and hybrid energy storage systems (ESSs) that are integrated with the electric power infrastructure, including end-use applications and loads. This guide builds upon IEEE Std 2030(TM)-2011.1

The purpose is to provide guidance in understanding and defining technical characteristics of ESSs and methods by which discrete or hybrid systems may be integrated with, and used compatibly as part of, the electric power infrastructure. Further, the document fills the need for guidance relevant to a knowledge base addressing terminology, functional performance, evaluation criteria, operations, testing, and the application of engineering principles for ESSs integrated with the electric power infrastructure.

New IEEE Standard - Active. This guide applies the smart grid interoperability reference model (SGIRM) process (IEEE Std 2030™-2011) to energy storage by highlighting the information relevant to energy storage system (ESS) interoperability with the energy power system (EPS). The process can be applied to ESS applications located on customer premises, at the distribution level, and on the transmission level (i.e., bulk storage). This guide provides useful industry-derived definitions for ESS characteristics, applications, and terminology that, in turn, simplify the task of defining system information and communications technology (ICT) requirements. As a result. these requirements can be communicated more clearly and consistently in project specifications. This guide also presents a methodology that can be used for most common ESS projects to describe the power system, communications, and information technology (IT) perspectives based on the IEEE 2030™ definitions. From this framework, a seemingly complex system can be more clearly understood by all project stakeholders. Emerging cybersecurity requirements can also be incorporated into the framework as appropriate. Additionally, this guide provides the templates that can be used to develop requirements for an ESS project and goes through several real-world ESS project examples step by step.
