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. |
