Additional Details
This table includes only those values that are unique to energy storage. The rest of the columns that are reported in the EIA-860 Energy Storage tabs are included in core_eia860__scd_generators and core_eia__entity_generators.
Columns
The unique six-digit facility identification number, also called an ORISPL, assigned by the Energy Information Administration.
Generator ID is usually numeric, but sometimes includes letters. Make sure you treat it as a string!
Date reported.
Maximum charge rate in MW.
Maximum discharge rate in MW.
A code representing the enclosure type that best describes where the generator is located.
The electro-chemical storage technology used for this battery applications.

Indicates if this energy storage device is AC-coupled (means the energy storage device and the PV system are not installed on the same side of an inverter).
Indicates if this energy storage device is DC-coupled (means the energy storage device and the PV system are on the same side of an inverter and the battery can still charge from the grid).
Indicates if this energy storage device is DC tightly coupled (means the energy storage device and the PV system are on the same side of an inverter and the battery cannot charge from the grid).
Indicates if this energy storage device is independent (not coupled with another generators)
Indicate if the energy storage system is intended to support a specific substation, transmission or distribution asset.
Indicates if this energy storage device is intended for dedicated generator firming or storing excess generation of other units.
