LFP battery energy storage system Tesla Megapack 2 XL is a containerized system supplied as a DC block. It stores 4.3 MWh of nominal energy and weighs 38.1 tonnes (83,996 lb). It supports 2 and 4 hour configurations.

Use Cases

The specifications of Tesla Megapack 2 XL suggest use in front of the meter, connected to the utility network itself. Its nominal energy places it in the utility-scale size class.

Capabilities

For Tesla Megapack 2 XL, the specifications suggest 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 configurations start at 2 h. Listed configurations reach up to 4 h, making Tesla Megapack 2 XL a candidate for energy shifting, storing charge and releasing it hours later. Configurations extending to 4 h point to capacity value, being counted on as supply when the network is tight. The separate inverter on its DC block points to renewable colocation, storing output from a wind or solar plant on the same site.

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.
