Technical FAQs 4

Can FEMP assess battery energy storage system performance?

This report describes development of an effort to assess Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) performance that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) and others can employ to evaluate performance of deployed BESS or solar photovoltaic (PV) +BESS systems.

What are the KPIs of a battery system?

For battery systems, Efficiency and Demonstrated Capacity are the KPIs that can be determined from the meter data. Efficiency is the sum of energy discharged from the battery divided by sum of energy charged into the battery (i.e., kWh in/kWh out).

How do you calculate battery efficiency?

Efficiency is the sum of energy discharged from the battery divided by sum of energy charged into the battery (i.e., kWh in/kWh out). This must be summed over a time duration of many cycles so that initial and final states of charge become less important in the calculation of the value.

How do you evaluate efficiency and demonstrated capacity of a Bess sub-system?

Evaluate Efficiency and Demonstrated Capacity of the BESS sub-system using the new method of this report. Compare actual realized Utility Energy Consumption (kWh/year) and Cost ($/year) with Utility Consumption and Cost as estimated using NREL’s REopt or System Advisor Model (SAM) computer programs.
