The knowledge of long-term health and reliability of energy storage systems is still unknown, yet these systems are proliferating and are expected increasingly to assist in the maintenance of grid reliability. Understanding long-term reliability and performance characteristics to the degree of knowledge similar to that of traditional utility assets requires operational data. This guideline is intended to inform numerous stakeholders on what data are needed for given functions, how to prescribe access to those data and the considerations impacting data architecture design, as well as provide these stakeholders insight into the data and data systems necessary to ensure storage can meet growing expectations in a safe and cost-efficient manner. Understanding data needs, the systems required, relevant standards, and user needs early in a project conception aids greatly in ensuring that a project ultimately performs to expectations.
