We provide energy advisory, testing, inspection and certification services globally. DNV GL representatives are active in IEC global standardisation activities (IEC TC-120) as well as national standardisation in many jurisdictions (e.g. US, UK and Europe). DNV GL also runs the BEST Test and Commercialisation Centre in the USA, a leading battery test facility with extensive battery performance test experience.

DNV GL initiated this project as it identified there is presently limited information available to allow consumers to make an informed decision regarding performance of battery energy storage systems in relation to payback period, reliability and lifetime.

DNV-GL are leading the project consortium and responsible for the delivery of the draft standard.
