PotisEdge PotisBank-L5.0-1500 is a containerized LFP battery energy storage system with 5 MWh nominal energy and 2 and 4 hour configurations. It is supplied as a DC block with liquid cooling and 94% DC round-trip efficiency. The system uses 314 Ah prismatic cells and weighs 41.5 tonnes (91,492 lb).

Use Cases

PotisEdge PotisBank-L5.0-1500 has nominal energy in the utility-scale size class. Its supported protocols include IEC61850 and IEC104, used in utility control systems. Together these specifications indicate use in front of the meter.

Capabilities

PotisEdge PotisBank-L5.0-1500 lists configurations up to 4 h and points to energy shifting, taking in power and returning it hours later. Its longest listed configuration is 4 h, and the specifications suggest capacity value, standing in as firm capacity when demand peaks. Its DC block connects through a separate inverter, making PotisEdge PotisBank-L5.0-1500 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, support for the operation of the electricity network.

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.
