LFP battery energy storage system, CNTE STAR X is a containerized system with 5.644 MWh nominal energy and about a 2-hour duration, supplied as an AC block. Liquid cooling manages 530 Ah prismatic cells. It weighs 45 tonnes (99,208 lb).

Use Cases

CNTE STAR X has an energy capacity within the utility-scale range. That capacity points to use in front of the meter, on the utility's side of the connection.

Capabilities

CNTE STAR X's shortest listed configuration is 2 h, which points to capacity value, being counted on as supply when the network is tight. Its AC block includes the inverter, and the specifications suggest renewable colocation, operating alongside a wind or solar plant on one site. That 2 h configuration makes CNTE STAR X a candidate for 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.
