    Each application imposes a different duty cycle on the ESS. This represents the charge/discharge profile associated with energy generation and demand. Different duty cycle characteristics can have different effects on the performance, life, and duration of ESSs.

    What is an energy storage system (ESS)?

    Energy storage systems (ESSs), such as lithium-ion batteries, are being used today in renewable grid systems to provide the capacity, power, and quick response required for operation in grid applications, including peak shaving, frequency regulation, back-up power, and voltage support. Each application imposes a different duty cycle on the ESS.

    What is a duty cycle in a grid application?

    The usage within each grid application is characterized by duty cycles. A duty cycle is a charge and discharge prole (given in fi terms of power or current) representing the demands associated with a speci c grid application.

    Do different duty cycle characteristics affect ESS performance?

    Different duty cycle characteristics can have different effects on the performance, life, and duration of ESSs. Within lithium-ion batteries, various chemistries exist that own different features in terms of specic energy, power, and cycle life, that ultimately determine fi their usability and performance.
