Tesla Megapack 2 (2-Hour CMA Only) is a containerized LFP battery energy storage system for utility-scale applications, with 2.9196 MWh nominal energy and about a 2-hour duration. It is supplied as an AC block with liquid cooling and 92% AC round-trip efficiency. Its weight is 30.5 tonnes (67,241 lb).

Use Cases

The Tesla Megapack 2 (2-Hour CMA Only) has energy capacity within the utility-scale range. Its supported protocols include DNP3, used in utility control systems. These specifications indicate use in front of the meter.

Capabilities

Tesla Megapack 2 (2-Hour CMA Only) has a shortest listed configuration of 2 h, which points to grid services, support that helps operators run the electricity network, and capacity value, counting as firm supply toward a network's peak needs. Its AC block includes the inverter, which suggests renewable colocation, operating alongside a wind or solar plant on one site. That 2 h configuration makes Tesla Megapack 2 (2-Hour CMA Only) a candidate for peak shaving, discharging into the hours of highest demand.

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.
