View more6 FAQs about [Charge and discharge times of energy storage equipment]
What is a battery energy storage system?
A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges (or collects energy) from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed.
What is storage duration?
Storage duration is the amount of time storage can discharge at its power capacity before depleting its energy capacity. For example, a battery with 1 MW of power capacity and 4 MWh of usable energy capacity will have a storage duration of four hours.
What is the difference between rated power capacity and storage duration?
Rated power capacity is the total possible instantaneous discharge capability (in kilowatts [kW] or megawatts [MW]) of the BESS, or the maximum rate of discharge that the BESS can achieve, starting from a fully charged state. Storage duration is the amount of time storage can discharge at its power capacity before depleting its energy capacity.
How long does a battery storage system last?
For example, a battery with 1 MW of power capacity and 4 MWh of usable energy capacity will have a storage duration of four hours. Cycle life/lifetime is the amount of time or cycles a battery storage system can provide regular charging and discharging before failure or significant degradation.
How is energy storage capacity calculated?
The energy storage capacity, E, is calculated using the efficiency calculated above to represent energy losses in the BESS itself. This is an approximation since actual battery efficiency will depend on operating parameters such as charge/discharge rate (Amps) and temperature.
When should a battery be charged and discharged?
Often a battery is charged whenever resources are available and discharged whenever load occurs without going through a complete charge/discharge cycle, so a long analysis period (e.g., 1 year) may be needed to capture when the battery is completely discharged (to minimum set point) and completely charged.
