DNV's Global Role in Energy Storage: Ensuring Quality and Safety Across the Industry

The content discusses the role and activities of DNV in energy storage systems. The speaker, who has a global role based out of Toronto, oversees nearly 100 energy associations worldwide with significant experience concentrated in Eastern America. Their services include engineering, technical participation, modeling, analytical guidance, safety engagement (as highlighted by Nick), and specialized expertise development for clients' workforce needs (mentioned by Andrzej). They are leaders in banking and technical reports for top equipment manufacturers seeking individual assessments. Energy association is not experimental but still evolving; thus requiring internal system advancements to meet goals like BMS integration. Suppliers range from startups to legacy vendors dealing with turbines or other equipment now integrated into BMS frameworks where quality assurance is crucial due to potential financial impacts from defects or performance issues—especially concerning battery safety against air leaks or thermal accidents across production stages—from raw materials through commissioning assets—and high-volume automated manufacturing processes that demand stringent tolerance checks despite low error probabilities. Emphasis on minimizing contractors ensures better communication while having an independent engineer oversee installations can mitigate unexpected operational challenges related to temperature/humidity effects during assembly phases.

Talk of session: Quality Indicators in Large Scale Storage Systems: What to Look For

As the share of fluctuating electricity producers (PV and wind power) increases, energy storage systems will have to take on more functions in the grid. Batteries play a key role here; from commercial and industrial storage systems to utility-scale storage for multiple uses, the requirements are rising. Key quality indicators are not only safety (including functional safety) but also reliability as well as performance, defined by efficiency and effectiveness, over an ideally long service life. Site-specific requirements, such as noise generation, are also important considerations. This session will examine these aspects from different perspectives, offering recommendations beyond existing standards based on operational experience.
