What is a mobile energy storage system?

An energy storage system contains a large amount of energy stored in a small space, which may make it the target for those who look to cause harm. For this reason, a deployed mobile energy storage system is required to be provided with a fence with a locked gate that keeps the public at least 5 ft (1.5 m) away from the ESS.

How far can a mobile energy storage system be deployed?

Additional limitations for where a mobile energy storage system can be deployed include a 10 ft (3 m) limitation on how close it can be to various exposures and a 50 ft (15.3 m) limitation on how close it can be to specific structures with an occupant load of 30 or greater.

How can mobile energy storage help your business?

Grid congestion creates increasingly long waiting times for companies who want to increase their grid connection. Mobile energy storage is the temporary solution to keep your business running. Municipalities and governments are tightening permit requirements to reduce CO2, NOx and noise emissions.

Are lithium-ion batteries included in a mobile energy storage standard?

It also goes on to mention that the storage of lithium-ion batteries is included in the scope of the document. The application section then limits the application of the standard to certain-sized mobile energy storage systems.
