Technical FAQs 4

How long does a battery energy storage system last?

Let’s break it down: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): Lithium-ion BESS typically have a duration of 1–4 hours. This means they can provide energy services at their maximum power capacity for that timeframe. Pumped Hydro Storage: In contrast, technologies like pumped hydro can store energy for up to 10 hours.

What is energy storage duration?

When we talk about energy storage duration, we’re referring to the time it takes to charge or discharge a unit at maximum power. Let’s break it down: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): Lithium-ion BESS typically have a duration of 1–4 hours. This means they can provide energy services at their maximum power capacity for that timeframe.

How do you calculate a battery's duration?

Batteries used for electricity load shifting have relatively long durations. We calculate a battery’s duration by using the ratio of energy capacity (measured in megawatthours [MWh]) to power capacity (in MW). Energy capacity refers to the total amount of energy these batteries can store.

How long does a battery last before recharging?

When fully charged, battery units built through 2020 could produce their rated nameplate power capacity for about 3.0 hours on average before recharging. Our Annual Electric Generator Report also contains information on how energy storage is used by utilities.
