IEA Implementing Agreement for International Smart Grid Action Network, a Cooperative Program on Smart Grids (ISGAN) discussion papers are meant as input documents to the global discussion about smart grids. Each is a statement by the author(s) regarding a topic of international interest. They reflect works in progress in the development of smart grids in the different regions of the world. Their aim is not to communicate a final outcome or to advise decision-makers, but rather to lay the ground work for further research and analysis. In this report, SIRFN laboratories (Sandia, AIT, RSE and FREA) establish a harmonized Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) evaluation/certification protocol for advanced energy storage functions. The authors present this standardized protocol as an adoption or revision option for jurisdictions when creating or modifying certification testing requirements. To complete this process, each laboratory shared information on national, international, and jurisdictional grid codes and standards for BESS. Based on these requirements, and BESS testing and certification literature, a broad list of interoperability functions, use cases, storage capabilities, and requirements were compiled. This list was then consolidated to a unique set of BESS functions for inclusion in the certification procedure. Draft certification protocols for five initial functions were created by the SIRFN group in order to harmonize the international effort to establish a unified set of procedures for interoperability testing of BESS.
