Application of this standard includes: (1) Stationary battery energy storage system (BESS) and mobile BESS; (2) Carrier of BESS, including but not limited to lead acid battery, lithiumion battery, flow battery, and sodium-sulfur battery; (3) BESS used in electric power systems (EPS).
A major issue identified by ESV is the absence of an Australian Standard for large energy storage battery facilities. Efforts are being made to expedite the creation and subsequent release of an appropriate standard, however as an interim measure, technical guidance will represent an iterative update of the existing CEC guidance.
The standard provides requirements on safety aspects associated with the erection, use, inspection, maintenance and disposal of cells and batteries for stationary applications and motive (other than on-road vehicle). Under development moving toward the committee draft voting stage.
With regards to centralised or decentralised utilities for battery modules, CATL expressed that the preference was to keep utility support systems decentralised as it promotes better consistency.
Safety requirements for secondary lithium cells and batteries, for use in industrial applications. The standard provides requirements on safety aspects associated with the erection, use, inspection, maintenance and disposal of cells and batteries for stationary applications and motive (other than on-road vehicle).
The advancement in battery chemistry and associated technology, combined with decreasing costs of supply, has seen the global growth and uptake of grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) facilities (shown as a contributor to transmission networks in Figure 1).
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
