Renewable energy produced by nature, stored by users

Enhanced battery technology is essential to fully realize the benefits of decarbonized power generation and a decentralized energy grid.

Distributed energy resources (DERs) offer significant potential to harness green power, overcome interruptions in power generation via battery energy storage systems (BESS) and realize the efficiency of direct current (DC) in more environments.

UL Solutions' energy storage expertise

We understand the pace of regulatory and technical changes in the energy storage industry can be challenging. Our comprehensive offerings help stakeholders tackle safety, interoperability and integration challenges with confidence.

Overcome interoperability issues

BESS require coordination among various stakeholders to optimize efficiency and mitigate risk. That starts with understanding the scope of risk in an evolving technical market.

Access new markets for energy storage

Battery energy storage technology is changing rapidly — and so is the regulatory environment. We can help you understand emerging and evolving regulations and offer testing services so you can demonstrate compliance in your target markets.

Improve project design and performance

Use rich data and simulations to guide the strategic design and operation of utility-scale storage and renewable power generation projects.
