Electrical Energy Storage Systems (EESS) play a crucial role in storing electrical energy for future use, enabling its utilization when needed. These systems find applications in various sectors, ranging from enhancing self-consumption of buildings equipped with renewable energy systems to providing arbitrage services, ancillary services, and backup power supplies. This comprehensive Code of Practice aims to provide guidance for practitioners involved in specifying, designing, installing, commissioning, operating, and maintaining EESS systems.

The scope of this Code of Practice encompasses EESS designed for fixed installation applications, including individual dwellings, commercial spaces, industrial facilities, and systems that align with existing standards, regulations, and guidance. This third edition of the Code aims to build upon the success of its predecessors, bringing it up to date with the latest developments in the electrical energy storage market.

Key additions to this edition include:

An update to the requirements for island mode isolators, providing clearer guidance on their functionality and usage.
Further detailed guidance on fire safety considerations and the appropriate location of batteries within an installation to ensure safety.
Updates to schematics for domestic use, ensuring accuracy and clarity in system design.
A general update to the presentation of diagrams, enhancing the readability and understanding of EESS systems.

By adhering to the principles and guidelines outlined in this Code of Practice, practitioners can ensure the safe and effective design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of EESS systems. This will contribute to the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources, the optimization of energy distribution, and the overall sustainability of the electricity sector.
