The capability of a battery is the rate at which it can release stored energy. As with capacity, the respective maximum is specified. The common unit of measurement is watts (W), again, with unit prefixes like kilo (1 kW = 1000 W) or mega (1 MW = 1,000,000 W). The C-rate indicates the time it takes to fully charge or discharge a battery.
The charge and discharge rates of a battery are determined by C rates. The capacity of a battery is usually specified as 1C, which means that a fully charged battery with a capacity of 1Ah will deliver 1A for one hour. The same battery discharged at 0.5C should deliver 0.5A for two hours, and at 2C it will deliver 2A for 30 minutes.
According to the US Department of Energy (DOE) global energy storage database, the installed energy storage capacity of lithium-ion battery technology exceeds 4.2 GWh by 2021, with a market share of 6.4 % .
For different current rates, the battery was charged and discharged and the Capacity Stored (CS) during every charge process was 600Ampere-minutes corresponding to 10 Ah of capacity. The battery was allowed to discharge immediately after 600 ampere-minutes of battery capacity was stored.
This behaviour causes fluctuations in the system's voltage, hampering the voltage regulation process. Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are normally installed in power systems to mitigate the effects of these fluctuations and to control the voltage and frequency of the system [ 1 - 3 ].
The main technical measures of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) include energy capacity, power rating, round-trip efficiency, and many more. Read more...
