Power describes how fast a battery can charge or discharge; energy describes how much it can store. A 10 MW system with 20 MWh has a nominal two-hour duration before project-specific limits and losses are considered.

What matters in this decision

Specify the measurement point, usable capacity, temperature conditions and lifetime requirement. A number on a nameplate does not by itself define the delivered service.

Information to prepare

  • Load profile and operating objective
  • Power, usable energy and duration
  • Peak demand and operating windows

Your deliverables

  • Documented sizing and operating assumptions
  • Comparison of operating scenarios
  • MW/MWh and duration assessment
You receive assessed results and project documents. Internal modelling tools support the analysis; you do not need to purchase or learn software. Scope and data checked before a binding offer.
