Battery Energy Storage: International and National Electrical Standards

To ensure the viability of your Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects, we have sourced these standards from internationally recognised regulatory bodies and industry best practices. This includes but is not limited to:

  • ENA (Energy Networks Association) – Represents the UK’s electricity and gas transmission & distribution companies, setting technical standards for network operations and safety.
  • BS (British Standards) – National standards provided by the British Standards Institution (BSI) to ensure safety, performance, and electrical engineering best practices
  • IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) – Global organisation that develops international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies to ensure interoperability and safety.
  • IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) – A leading global organisation that establishes electrical and electronic engineering standards, particularly in power systems, communications, and computing.
  • NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) – Develops fire safety codes and standards used widely in electrical safety regulations.
  • EN (European Norms) – Harmonised European standards developed by CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to ensure compliance across EU member states in various industries, including electrical engineering.
