In this edition of Code Corner, we talk about NFPA 855, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Energy Storage Systems. In particular, spacing requirements and limitations for energy storage systems (ESS). NFPA 855 sets the rules in residential settings for each energy storage unit—how many kWh you can have per unit and the
Improvements in the temporal and spatial control of heat flows can further optimize the utilization of storage capacity and reduce overall system costs. The objective of the TES subprogram is to enable shifting of 50% of thermal loads over four hours with a three-year installed cost payback. The system targets for the TES subprogram: <$15/kWh
