Industrial & CommercialAC BlockUpdated Aug 28, 2026

Eaton xStorage is an LFP battery system for commercial and industrial use, supplied as an AC block with 250 kWh nominal energy. It provides 98.8% AC round-trip efficiency. The PCS and battery use liquid cooling, and the control system uses air cooling.

Use Cases

Eaton xStorage battery energy storage system (BESS) falls within the commercial and industrial class by energy capacity and connects at 480 V, a low-voltage AC connection. It is certified to low-voltage grid connection rules (UL 1741 SA, UL 1741 SB). Together these specifications indicate use behind the meter, at a customer's own premises.

Capabilities

Its AC block includes the inverter, which points to renewable colocation, storing output from a wind or solar plant on the same site. Eaton xStorage battery energy storage system (BESS) holds about 1 h of storage at full power, calculated from 250 kWh and 250 kW, and the specifications suggest 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.
