This recommended practice covers the development and deployment of Energy Storage Management Systems (ESMS) in grid applications. ESMS is an umbrella term that includes a range of systems. These systems have functions that vary according to the needs of the application, and generally fall into one of the following categories: - Power management systems (PMS) - Power plant controllers (PPC), also known as site controllers - Energy management systems (EMS) In the context of this document, the term ‘energy management system' does not include systems used by consumers to manage their energy use; nor does it include the set of functions deployed by electric power system (EPS) operators to monitor and control generation (non-storage) resources on their networks. For each type of system, this recommended practice includes a set of core software functions and hardware capabilities addressing the fundamental requirements for operating energy storage systems (ESSs). ESMS operation is described in the context of battery ESS, but in most cases, the principles can be applied to other forms of energy storage. This document is limited to ESMS located on site with the physical ESS and does not include management of aggregated systems or cloud-based controls. This document does not cover management systems for mobile applications such as electric vehicles; nor does it include operation in vehicle-to-grid applications.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
