Data records

  • The document is designated IEEE Std 1547.9-2022 and is cited as IEEE 1547.9-2022. Value: IEEE 1547.9-2022. Source: IEEE 1547.9-2022, clause Front matter. Verified 2026-10-24. Record std.ieee-1547-9.designation
  • IEEE 1547.9-2022 explains the application of IEEE 1547-2018 to energy storage DER that connect through a bidirectional power electronic converter and can export active power, and it adds guidance for storage that does not export but still influences the system. Clause 1.2 takes up the topics the base standard leaves incomplete: bidirectional electric vehicle charging, when storage falls inside or outside the scope, and the constraints of charging and generation. Source: IEEE 1547.9-2022, clause 1.1, 1.2. Verified 2026-10-24. Record std.ieee-1547-9.scope
  • Clause 11.5 of IEEE 1547.9-2022 applies clause 8 of IEEE 1547.1-2020 in full to energy storage DER evaluations and commissioning, notes that safety makes storage commissioning more involved, and lists performance tests drawn from the ESIC guide that a commissioning plan may add (round-trip efficiency, available capacity, auxiliary load, charge duration, rated continuous power, and the response, rise and settling times), each recorded as a value with no acceptance criterion. Source: IEEE 1547.9-2022, clause 11.5. Verified 2026-10-24. Record std.ieee-1547-9.structure.commissioning
  • Clause 1.4 of IEEE 1547.9-2022 explains its numbering convention: subclauses whose number and title duplicate those of IEEE 1547-2018 carry a bracketed suffix, and many of them state only that the base subclause applies to energy storage DER without further guidance. Source: IEEE 1547.9-2022, clause 1.4. Verified 2026-10-24. Record std.ieee-1547-9.structure.numbering-convention
  • Clauses 6.4.2 and 6.5.2.1 of IEEE 1547.9-2022 explain that the small-export ride-through exception of IEEE 1547-2018 is judged at the maximum exporting power point of a modulating energy storage DER, and that where a Category III unit is meant to go on serving its load through an unplanned transition to an island, the Area EPS operator and the DER operator may agree a momentary cessation response time that is longer than the value in the base standard's table. Source: IEEE 1547.9-2022, clause 6.4.2, 6.5.2.1. Verified 2026-10-24. Record std.ieee-1547-9.structure.ride-through-exceptions
  • Clause 4.4 of IEEE 1547.9-2022 addresses measurement of stored energy: the base standard IEEE 1547-2018 calls for operational state of charge to be reported without defining an accuracy for it, so the guide recommends minimum calculation resolutions and measurement windows for operational state of charge and operational capacity, lists optional operational model parameters, and explains that it sets no accuracy requirement because no ground truth exists against which to judge one. Source: IEEE 1547.9-2022, clause 4.4. Verified 2026-10-24. Record std.ieee-1547-9.structure.stored-energy-measurement
  • Clause 11 of IEEE 1547.9-2022 adapts test and verification to storage: the test environment respects the storage medium's thermal management and auxiliary systems, type testing may separate the storage medium from the converter using a dc source or battery simulator, discharge and charge tests are paired because state of charge drifts during long tests, and the guide recommends repeating the ride-through, enter service, current distortion and reactive power type tests at charging power levels. Source: IEEE 1547.9-2022, clause 11. Verified 2026-10-24. Record std.ieee-1547-9.structure.test-and-verification
  • The front matter of IEEE 1547.9-2022 gives its full title as IEEE Guide for Using IEEE Std 1547 for Interconnection of Energy Storage Distributed Energy Resources with Electric Power Systems.
