Aggreko Y.CUBE 30 is a containerized battery energy storage system for commercial and industrial use, supplied as an AC block. It provides 610 kWh nominal energy with about a 0.5-hour duration. The unit weighs 19.2 tonnes (42,329 lb).
Use Cases
The specifications of Aggreko Y.CUBE 30 together point to use behind the meter, inside a customer's own electrical installation. It belongs to the commercial and industrial class by energy capacity. It connects at 400 V.
Capabilities
Aggreko Y.CUBE 30 points to renewable colocation, sitting next to a wind or solar plant and sharing its grid connection, as its AC block includes the inverter. Its shortest listed configuration, 0.5 h, makes Aggreko Y.CUBE 30 a candidate for peak shaving, cutting the power drawn from the grid at peak times.

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.
Site Space Required
Shared: one 3 m aisle serves both neighbours. Dedicated: each unit keeps its own 3 m, so gaps double to 6 m.
Single unit — matches the stored area_sqm convention.
