Chint Power Systems CPS ES-2MW/8MWh is a containerized LFP battery energy storage system with 8.3598 MWh nominal energy and about a 4-hour duration. It is supplied as an AC block with 2.08995 MW rated DC power and uses 314 Ah prismatic cells. The unit weighs 37 tonnes (81,571 lb) and uses liquid or forced air cooling.

Use Cases

Use in front of the meter is consistent with the specifications of Chint Power Systems CPS ES-2MW/8MWh. It connects at medium voltage, 12.47 kV, and ships as a block of 3 containers. Its nominal energy places it in the utility-scale size class.

Capabilities

A 0.5C rating points to grid services, support for the operation of the electricity network, and peak shaving, cutting the power drawn from the grid at peak times. Its listed configuration of 4 h points to energy shifting, taking in power and returning it hours later. The specifications suggest capacity value, standing in as firm capacity when demand peaks. An AC block with the inverter included makes Chint Power Systems CPS ES-2MW/8MWh a candidate for renewable colocation, sitting next to a wind or solar plant and sharing its grid connection.

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.
