3. Operational Agreement Process and Requirement for EDC Approval The Customer shall submit a completed and executed Operational Agreement in the form specified by the EDCs.
The requirements for periodic maintenance for energy storage products should be identified by the OEM (IEEE 2010). In settings where predictive analytics maintenance is economical, guidance should also be available from the manufacturer that identifies methodologies for assessing when a product may be approaching a failure mode.
Tracking this availability (or unavailability) provides transparency into the equipment reliability state to all parties involved in an O&M services contract. In most PV operation contracts, energy will be the driving factor of whether the system is operating as expected.
In most PV operation contracts, energy will be the driving factor of whether the system is operating as expected. EPC guarantees, operator guarantees, owner measure of ROI, and other considerations for a contract are mostly based on whether the system produced energy as it was expected to.
These combined generation and storage systems can be “islanded” in remote or isolated areas or grid-tied with the ability to operate both with interaction with the grid or disconnect from the grid to maintain operations separately as needed (e.g., in the event of a grid outage).
Photo by Owen Roberts, NREL Considerations for energy storage system testing include the following. If cost-justified by a large purchase, consider qualification testing of battery systems. Include test conditions in specifications for battery O&M diagnostics and testing.
Members of the working group have discussed these results and are currently recommending 0.5% for large systems and 1% of system initial cost per year for small systems as a reasonable expectation of PV system O&M costs. These heuristics inform an expectation of PV system O&M costs.
