Battery energy storage systems must comply with multiple layers of regulatory standards before connecting to the electrical grid. The foundation begins with IEEE standards, particularly IEEE 1547, which governs distributed energy resource interconnection requirements. . This document is intended to provide guidance to local governments considering developing an ordinance or rules related to the development of utility-scale battery energy storage systems. These resources electrically connect to the grid through an inverter— power electronic devices that convert DC energy into AC energy—and are referred to as inverter-based resources (IBRs). As the generation. . A Practice Note discussing the process of connecting an energy generating or battery storage facility to the electric grid and the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the interconnection process.
