CRRC Zhuzhou Institute CESS-L5016-STR-0.25C is an LFP battery energy storage system for utility-scale projects with 5.016 MWh nominal energy and about a 4-hour duration. It is supplied as a containerized DC block with liquid cooling and 314 Ah prismatic cells. The system weighs 44 tonnes (97,003 lb) and has a 1081.6 to 1497.6 V DC window.
Use Cases
The specifications of CRRC Zhuzhou Institute CESS-L5016-STR-0.25C together point to use in front of the meter. It belongs to the utility-scale class by energy capacity. It supports IEC104 and IEC61850.
Capabilities
For CRRC Zhuzhou Institute CESS-L5016-STR-0.25C, the specifications suggest renewable colocation, sitting next to a wind or solar plant and sharing its grid connection, and its DC block connects through a separate inverter. A listed configuration of 4 h makes it a candidate for energy shifting, charging at one time and discharging hours later. Its shortest listed configuration is 4 h, which points to capacity value, being counted on as supply when the network is tight.

Plant Round-Trip Efficiency
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.
Site Space Required
Shared: one 3 m aisle serves both neighbours. Dedicated: each unit keeps its own 3 m, so gaps double to 6 m.
Single unit — matches the stored area_sqm convention.
