This document has been updated to include an appendix on the co-location of battery storage with installations receiving a Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) tariff.
and safety requirements for battery energy storage systems. This standard places restrictions on where a battery energy storage system (BESS) can be located and places restrictions on other equipment located in close proximity to the BESS.
