Cummins 422 kWh is a containerized LFP battery energy storage system for commercial and industrial use. It provides 422 kWh nominal energy with about a 2-hour duration. The system is supplied as an AC block and uses liquid cooling or HVAC.

Use Cases

The specifications of Cummins 422 kWh together point to use behind the meter. Its nominal energy places it in the commercial and industrial size class. It connects at 380 V, a low-voltage AC connection, and is certified to low-voltage grid connection rules under IEEE 1547 and AS/NZS 4777.

Capabilities

For Cummins 422 kWh, the specifications suggest renewable colocation, operating alongside a wind or solar plant on one site; its AC block includes the inverter. Its shortest listed configuration is 2 h. That configuration makes it a candidate for peak shaving, discharging into the hours of highest demand, and points to capacity value, standing in as firm capacity when demand peaks.

Both measured at the grid connection point. The plant's own power use is already included in the losses.

The calculator estimates the full "plant" round-trip efficiency (RTE) at the point of interconnection. Some values are pre-blocked depending on information on a particular ESS. The rows that are marked "each way" are one-way efficiencies; they are applied on charge and again on discharge. We then square them. To enter a bundled PCS efficiency value, use its rated-power value, not peak. If the PCS skid already includes the LV/MV transformer, set Transformer LV/MV to 100 % so those losses are not counted twice.
