MESA Technical Workshop: Understanding and Implementing Open Standards for Energy Storage

The MESA Standards Alliance will host a technical workshop in conjunction with the Energy Storage Association’s (ESA) Energy Storage STUDIO conference. The day-long workshop will be led by MESA's technical consultant, Frances Cleveland (see bio below).

The workshop will be focused on one of MESA’s specifications under development, MESA-ESS, and will provide an overview of the specifications and strategies for implementing and integrating the MESA-ESS specification.

MESA-ESS provides a standard framework for utility-scale energy storage system (ESS) data exchanges. The draft specification addresses ESS configuration management, ESS operational states, and the applicable ESS functions from the IEEE 1815 (DNP3) profile for advanced distributed energy resource functions.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, provide feedback on implementation, and learn from colleagues.
