CRRC Zhuzhou Institute CESS-L6250-EU-0.5C/0.25C is an LFP battery energy storage system supplied as a DC block with 6.25 MWh nominal energy in 2 and 4 hour configurations. It uses liquid cooling and 287 Ah prismatic cells. System weight is 48 tonnes (105,822 lb).
Use Cases
CRRC Zhuzhou Institute CESS-L6250-EU-0.5C/0.25C has nominal energy in the utility-scale size class. Its supported protocols include IEC104 and IEC61850. These specifications indicate use in front of the meter.
Capabilities
CRRC Zhuzhou Institute CESS-L6250-EU-0.5C/0.25C lists configurations up to 4 h. That 4 h listing points to energy shifting, charging at one time and discharging hours later; the specifications suggest capacity value, standing in as firm capacity when demand peaks. Its DC block connects through a separate inverter. That configuration makes it a candidate for renewable colocation, sitting next to a wind or solar plant and sharing its grid connection. Its shortest listed configuration is 2 h, which points to peak shaving, discharging into the hours of highest demand; the specifications indicate grid services, work that helps keep the electricity network running.

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.
