The required working spaces in and around the energy storage system must also comply with 110.26. Working space is measured from the edge of the ESS modules, battery cabinets, racks, or trays.
It is important to plan and discuss the location of an energy storage system with the electrical inspection authorities before installation of this equipment. In many cases, this will include the building inspector and the fire marshal.
Language found in the last paragraph at 706.10 (C) advises that pre-engineered and self-contained energy storage systems are permitted to have working space between components within the system in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and listing of the system.
Energy storage comes in a variety of forms, including mechanical (e.g., pumped hydro), thermal (e.g., ice/water), and electrochemical (e.g., batteries). Recent advances in energy storage, particularly in batteries, have overcome previous size and economic barriers preventing wide-scale deployment in commercial buildings.
Basics of Energy Storage Energy storage refers to resources which can serve as both electrical load by consuming power while charging and electrical generation by releasing power while discharging. Energy storage comes in a variety of forms, including mechanical (e.g., pumped hydro), thermal (e.g., ice/water), and electrochemical (e.g., batteries).
Energy storage systems can be (and typically are) connected to other energy sources, such as the local utility distribution system. There may be one or more sources connected to an ESS. The connection to other energy sources is required to comply with the requirements of 705.12.

Shared Electrical Energy Storage Service Model and Strategy for ...
Abstract: Electrical energy storage (EES) is a promising and convenient solution for energy efficient buildings, but the high cost of EES limits the expansion of its use. This study presents a shared EES (s-EES) service model including the architecture for implementing the service and a strategy for operating the service for apartment-type factory buildings composed of individually …
