When a microgrid is in the "grid connected" mode, it should protect microgrid components when a fault is within the microgrid and isolate or provide fault ride through when a fault is in the utility network to which it is connected.
The 2026 edition of NFPA 855: Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems has now been released, continuing the rapid evolution of safety requirements for battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Update: Confusion still persists about the difference between solar and solar microgrids. First published in 2016, this article explains why it's important for energy consumers to know the difference.
Central to the efficiency, safety, and reliability of these systems are various protection technologies designed to minimize risks associated with energy storage. These technologies are critical in both utility-scale storage and on-site solutions for residential or.
