An SDES with a duration of 4-6 hours in a home may be used to keep the lights on or the refrigerator cold during an outage. On a broader scale, utility-sized SDES systems may be used to replace wind power on a day with no wind. Different battery chemicals affect the energy storage duration achieved.
If the grid has a very high load for eight hours and the storage only has a 6-hour duration, the storage system cannot be at full capacity for eight hours. So, its ELCC and its contribution will only be a fraction of its rated power capacity. An energy storage system capable of serving long durations could be used for short durations, too.
How long the battery energy storage systems (BESS) can deliver, however, often depends on how it's being used. A new released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration indicates that approximately 60 percent of installed and operational BESS capacity is being exerted on grid services.
Storage duration is the amount of time storage can discharge at its power capacity before depleting its energy capacity. For example, a battery with 1 MW of power capacity and 4 MWh of usable energy capacity will have a storage duration of four hours.
Like a common household battery, an energy storage system battery has a “duration” of time that it can sustain its power output at maximum use. The capacity of the battery is the total amount of energy it holds and can discharge.
