MPINarada NESP LC CCS20 (0.5C 314Ah) is a containerized LFP battery energy storage system with 8.36 MWh nominal energy and a 2-hour duration. Supplied as a DC block, it has liquid cooling, 0.418 MW rated DC power, and 93% DC round-trip efficiency. The unit uses 314 Ah prismatic cells and weighs 36 tonnes (79,366 lb).

Use Cases

Use in front of the meter is consistent with the specifications of MPINarada NESP LC CCS20 (0.5C 314Ah). Its energy capacity is within the utility-scale range. It ships as a block of 2 containers.

Capabilities

The shortest listed configuration, at 2 h, makes MPINarada NESP LC CCS20 (0.5C 314Ah) a candidate for capacity value, being counted on as supply when the network is tight. Its DC block connects through a separate inverter, and that configuration points to renewable colocation, operating alongside a wind or solar plant on one site. Its shortest listed configuration is 2 h, and the specifications indicate peak shaving, reducing the peak load at the connection point, and grid services, work that helps keep the electricity network running.

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.
