Planning, Installation, Testing, and Safety Issues of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), with guidance from the International Electrotechnical Commission Standard IEC 62933

About This Course

As the Asia-Pacific region accelerates its clean energy transitions, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) play a crucial role in stabilising power systems and enabling renewable energy integration. Battery Energy Storage System technology is a key enabler, providing voltage and frequency support, peak shaving/shifting, inertia response, and autonomous black-start capabilities and emergency back-up. Initiatives like the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Power Grid Vision and national carbon neutrality goals are driving momentum for safe, intelligent solutions which can be aided by BESS.

This comprehensive training session on "Planning, Installation, Testing, and Safety Issues of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), with guidance from the International Electrotechnical Commission Standard IEC 62933”, is designed to enhance course participants' knowledge of the design, operation, maintenance, and compliance aspects of Battery Energy Storage Systems in line with the IEC 62933 standards. These two full-day sessions of face-to-face training is to be held in the Singapore Institute of Technology’s new Punggol Campus, which is itself designed with aggregate of 3 megawatt-hour (MWh) of BESS.

Key Takeaways from this course:

• Using standardised terminology, parameters and testing methods for regulatory adherence
• Planning, design and installation of battery energy storage systems for grid support and energy back-up
• Understanding environmental issues arising from and impacting on battery energy storage systems
• Best practices for risk assessment and hazard mitigation to ensure safety compliance
• The role and applications of grid-forming energy storage in cross-border electricity trade and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) regional cooperation
