Grid-ScaleAC BlockUpdated Aug 28, 2026

Eaton xStorage BESS is an LFP system for utility-scale use with 1 MWh nominal energy, supplied as an AC block. It provides 98.8% AC round-trip efficiency, supports 60 Hz grids, and operates across a 761 to 1200 V DC window. It uses liquid or air cooling.

Use Cases

Use in front of the meter directly on the electricity network is consistent with the specifications of Eaton xStorage BESS. Its nominal energy places it in the utility-scale size class.

Capabilities

A calculated duration of about 1 h at full power from 1 MWh and 1 MW makes Eaton xStorage BESS a candidate for grid services, support that helps operators run the electricity network, and peak shaving, reducing the peak load at the connection point. Its AC block includes the inverter and points to renewable colocation, sitting next to a wind or solar plant and sharing its grid connection.

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.
