Commissioning Checklist
This checklist is specific to the AES cabinet and should be used to confirm the correct installation and function of the cabinet during the commissioning of a complete energy storage system. Additional system-level test must be completed after the full battery energy storage system is integrated.
Cabinet Installation
PROCEDURE | CHECK |
|---|---|
Ensure the cabinet is securely mounted to the foundation | Confirm that all anchors have been torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications. |
Verify grounding installation | Confirm that the system is properly grounded via a ground rod or Ufer ground and meets local code requirements. |
Confirm correct DC polarity and wiring size | Verify correct polarity and wire sizing for expected system load requirements. |
Verify connection of battery home-run cables | Confirm home-run cables are securely connected to the HV Box and PCS. |
Ensure that MSDs are correctly installed | Verify each MSD is properly latched and engaged in the battery packs. |
Inspect AC auxiliary connections | Ensure AC input wiring is correctly sized (#10 AWG for 32A circuit) and terminated properly. |
Verify communication wiring | Ensure communication wiring (CAN bus and intranet connection) is properly terminated. |
Reinstall all terminal shields and covers | Ensure that all terminal covers and shields are securely fastened after wiring is complete. |
Battery Operation
PROCEDURE | CHECK |
|---|---|
Confirm all DC disconnect and overcurrent protection | Verify correct installation and rating of overcurrent protection and DC disconnect devices. |
Ensure the battery cabinet is powered on | Confirm that the battery cabinets are on, and the status LED indicates normal operation (solid green). |
Verify each battery cabinet status | Check for any fault indicators on the battery cabinets (amber or red LEDs) and address any issues accordingly. |
Test the thermal management system (TMS) | Ensure that the thermal management system is operational and functioning correctly. |
Run the system at the rated power load | Test the system under expected load and monitor for over-voltage, over-current, or thermal issues. |
Final Steps
PROCEDURE | CHECK |
|---|---|
Close and lock all the cabinet doors | Secure the battery cabinet door, ensuring the system is safe and protected from unauthorized access. |
Document all testing results and configurations | Record all test results, system configurations, and any issues found during commissioning. |
Complete product registration | Register the product upon installation to activate the warranty and ensure future support. |
