ABSTRACT:
Usage of SDI Li-ion technology connected to a 3 MW AW116/300 wind turbine
First ever prototype system-level certificate for a grid-scale energy storage solution
DNV GL's used approach was technology qualification to identify and process key elements for system certification
The certification process was carried out in line with the GRIDSTOR Recommended Practice
“With any emerging technology, technology qualification and certification is essential in understanding and managing risk. In the near future, the bodies involved in the approval and financing of storage systems worldwide will demand these certificates. ACCIONA also wants to be a pioneer in this area. By applying for certification from such a solvent entity as DNV GL, we can guarantee that our plant fulfills all the conditions to operate with full confidence.” Rafael Esteban, CEO ACCIONA Energy USA Global LLC
