Chemistry and technology selection
Comparing chemistries against duty cycle, temperature, footprint, safety and cost per usable kilowatt hour.
It depends on the duty cycle, ambient temperature, footprint available and safety requirement. Chemistries differ in cycle life, calendar life, thermal behaviour, energy density and cost per usable kilowatt hour, and the right answer for daily deep cycling is rarely the right answer for occasional backup.
What this includes
- Chemistry comparison against the defined duty cycle
- Cycle life and calendar life assessment
- Ambient temperature and thermal management implications
- Footprint and energy density trade off
- Safety, fire suppression and code requirements
- Cost per usable kilowatt hour over the term
- What you receiveOutput
- Technology comparison with a recommendation and its reasoning
- When you need itTiming
- Immediately after duty cycle definition.
Selecting on headline cost per kilowatt hour. Usable capacity over the actual duty cycle is the number that matters, and it can differ substantially.
