Meanwhile, communication base stations often configure battery energy storage as a backup power source to maintain the normal operation of communication equipment [3, 4]. Given the rapid proliferation of 5G base stations in recent years, the significance of communication energy storage has grown exponentially [5, 6].
The construction of new power energy storage equipment undoubtedly increases the economic strain on the power system [1, 2]. Meanwhile, communication base stations often configure battery energy storage as a backup power source to maintain the normal operation of communication equipment [3, 4].
The charging and discharging capacity of the battery pack in the base station energy storage system can be described as Equation (10): and are the current charging power and discharging power of the battery, respectively, and is an operating cycle.
The battery pack in the energy storage section has the capacity to absorb energy as a load, thereby increasing the power consumption of the grid during the trough period. It can also release energy to reduce the overall power consumption of the base station, thus balancing the high load of the grid during the peak period.

In some contexts, for energy storage systems, compliance regulations take the form of a state adopting a code, which then references and requires testing and listing or adherence to a standard. Some cities, counties, and special administrative districts (e.g., school or sewer districts) also adopt locally amended codes for their environments.
NFPA 855 now explicitly ties the “Qualified Person” definition to energy storage systems rather than just generic electrical equipment. The definition emphasizes that a qualified person must have: Safety training to recognize, avoid, and mitigate ESS hazards.
Cumulative Installed Utility-Scale Battery Energy Storage, U.S. As Figure 1 shows, 2021 saw a remarkable increase in the deployment of battery energy storage in the U.S. Twice as much utility-scale battery energy storage was installed in 2021 alone—3,145 megawatts (MW)—than was installed in all previous years combined (1,372 MW) (EIA 2022).
These policies come in many forms, such as mandates, financial incentives, and new regulations, but they share a common goal of facilitating the deployment of energy storage on the electric grid. In recent years, several states have enacted sweeping energy storage legislation that implements multiple energy storage policies at once (PNNL 2022).
