Energy Storage Calculator calculator can be used to estimate the energy storage capacity in kilowatt-hours (kWh) based on power (kW), efficiency (%), and duration (hours).
Learn how to use the Energy Storage Calculator calculator and its working principles
The calculator uses the following formula to estimate the energy storage capacity:
Energy (kWh) = Power (kW) × Duration (hours) × (Efficiency / 100)
This formula takes into account the power output, efficiency, and duration to provide an estimate of the energy that can be stored in the system.
For example, if you have an energy storage system with a power output of 5 kW, an efficiency of 90%, and you want to store energy for 4 hours, the calculation would be:
Energy (kWh) = 5 kW × 4 hours × (90 / 100) = 18 kWh
This means that the system can store approximately 18 kilowatt-hours of energy.
