For BESS, suppliers run tests before NVIDIA reviews data, focusing on PCS behavior at AC terminals (dynamic active/reactive response, current limiting, ride-through, islanding, black start). Partners must supply time-series evidence and document grid/fire/cyber certifications. NVIDIA states passing does not replace site-level engineering or imply site-level stability.
