taped training will be used only for training of new personnel and will be subject to confidentiality agreements, and other protections of Contractor’s Intellectual Property. The training
course shall cover all aspects of installing the energy storage system, a pictorial breakdown of the energy storage subassemblies, procedures related to emergency response (ruptured
modules, fire, etc.), and operation and control of the energy storage system.
2.16.1. General
The Contractor shall provide training for the Project as specified below. The Contractor shall determine the content and duration for each training session. The suggested class durations
in this specification are meant to illustrate the level of training expected. Performance evaluation testing of all trainees (i.e. a written test) is required for all classes except
the orientation training.
2.16.2. Orientation Training
The Contractor shall provide two orientation training sessions. It is anticipated that each session will last 1/2 day. These sessions shall be suitable for managers, supervisors, professional
and technical personnel. Each session will be limited to a maximum of 20 people.
The orientation training sessions shall be scheduled before commencing Project performance verification tests. An outline for this orientation training shall be submitted to DME 90 days
ahead of the actual date of training. Approval of this outline shall be obtained from DME. DME will provide comments and/or approval 30 days before the scheduled training date.
2.16.3. Operator Training
The Contractor shall provide the necessary training in proper operation of the Project and related equipment. This training shall be conducted after completion of the Project performance
verification testing, but before system commissioning. It is anticipated that this session will last 1-2 days. This session will be limited to a maximum of 20 people. Emphasis shall
be placed on hands-on operating experience interspersed with the critical background as necessary, including switching procedures and emergency response training.
FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
General
The Project will be capable of serving multiple purposes, each represented by a control mode. These modes will all be supported within the system capabilities and self-protection requirements.
The system shall be able to move freely between each mode of operation at any time. In particular, it is intended that the Project will be operated as a Resource Adequacy resource.
The Contractor shall specify the method used to determine the point where further discharge is no longer practical or safe and the storage media must be recharged before further use.
All modes will be limited by the Contractor specified discharge limit to avoid damage to the Project. Termination of any operating scenario by the discharge limit, without reaching
rated capacity discharge, will be included in the availability calculation unless the discharge was initiated with the battery partially discharged.
The system shall be capable of functioning in the modes currently available within the Contractor’s software.
For all modes, except modes that respond to abnormal system conditions, the Project shall ramp to the required output at a DME selectable rate. Following a rated discharge or termination
of the mode command, the Project shall ramp to zero at a DME selectable rate suitable to allow other generation to follow. The total energy delivered shall be inclusive of the energy
required to ramp the system to zero. Termination of operating modes due to reaching the discharge limit shall take into account the ramp down energy required.
Control Modes
Offline
The system should open the storage media breaker/contactor(s), inverter AC output breaker/contactor(s), and de-energize non-critical power supplies. It should physically isolate the
inverter output from the grid, not just provide a zero output, to prevent interaction with the grid (nominal auxiliary load contactors may continue to serve these loads). This mode
includes both normal shutdown and system trips requiring reset.
The control system shall initiate the offline mode under the following conditions and remain in the offline state until a reset signal, either local or remote, is initiated.
Emergency trip operation
AC circuit breaker trips that isolates the Project from the grid
Smoke/fire alarm and suppression operation
Control logic trouble
Standby
The system should close the inverter AC output contactor after synching, but neither charge nor discharge, and only draw necessary auxiliary load.
Target SOC
The system should charge according to its own optimum method considering an available time budget to reach a defined SOC value. If the system SOC falls below the reference SOC, the system
shall charge to reach the desired set point.
The Contractor shall design the charging system to ramp up from zero to the maximum demand at a DME selectable ramp rate to avoid shocking the system and allow generation to easily follow

down requirements.
ERCOT Spinning Reserves
The Project may, at some future date, ultimately participate in the ERCOT markets. Accordingly, the Project shall be capable of discharging in accordance with the ERCOT Ancillary Service

The operation in the AGC mode shall be limited by the Contractor specified discharge limit for the storage media.
Following operation in the AGC mode, the Project shall ramp-down linearly to zero at a DME selectable rate.
Permissive Operation States
A system of operational states shall permit the use of each mode of operation of the Project. Permissions will be granted by DME via a DME -specified process. The operational states

Standby
Standby permission shall authorize the Project to be synchronized with the utility grid with no input or output from the inverter except auxiliary loads and all systems operational.
Parallel
Parallel permission shall authorize the Project to operate in parallel with the utility grid, in any grid-connected mode of operation. When the Project is operating in this state and

DNP3 Points List
Overview
The following is information of the data objects being used by DME for the purposed of controlling and monitoring storage systems via a communications gateway. The current DME standard
for this gateway is an SMP16 or SMP4. The appropriately deployed gateway implements a DNP3/TCP protocol, and provides a standardized points list that both applications and storage systems
shall integrate with.
To follow the standardized points list, the integration of storage systems may require some modifications and logic functions to be placed within the gateway itself. DME strongly desires
that systems comply with this standard with a minimum of modification and related custom engineering/configuration.
Note that the alarms list for each system has not been listed, as systems provide a multitude of alarms. Instead, this standard list showcases rolled up alarms. In all cases, the mappings
of alarms must be added as binary inputs and rolled up into the main alarms. It should be also noted that this points list is updated over time and future points may be required.
Data Object List
Each input and output is broken down into categories and subcategories. To differentiate each Advanced Energy Storage system, the following nomenclature will be followed to configure
each point name in the SMP16 (or SMP4):
[SES or CES][System number]_ [Category abbv.]_[Point Name]
Category abbreviations are as follows. If more than one category is defined, the category abbreviation will come first, followed by a number starting from 1 and going up sequentially.
All names and sequence number assignments are managed by DME as part of system deployment planning and provisioning.
