Eaton xStorage BESS is an LFP system for commercial and industrial use with 500 kWh nominal energy. It is supplied as an AC block with liquid or air cooling, delivers 98.8% AC round-trip efficiency, and operates on 60 Hz grids across a 761 to 1200 V DC window.
Use Cases
Use behind the meter is consistent with the specifications of Eaton xStorage BESS. Its energy capacity is within the commercial and industrial range. It connects at 480 V, a low-voltage AC connection, and is certified to low-voltage grid connection rules (UL 1741 SA, UL 1741 SB).
Capabilities
About 1 h of storage at full power, calculated from 500 kWh and 500 kW, makes Eaton xStorage BESS a candidate for 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.

Plant Round-Trip Efficiency
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.
