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.
