| Description: | Degradation in capacity with age in number of cycles |
Battery Capacity Degradation is the degree to which battery capacity degrades with increasing numbers of cycles.
No degradation will occur within a single step. The cycles accumulated in each step result in degradation for following steps.
Example
| Property | Value | Units |
|---|---|---|
| End Effects Method | Recycle | - |
| Units | 1 | - |
| Capacity | 129 | MWh |
| Max Power | 100 | MW |
| Initial SoC | 75 | % |
| Charge Efficiency | 90 | % |
| Discharge Efficiency | 100 | % |
| Initial Age | 100 | cycles |
| Capacity Degradation | 0.043 | % |
In this example the Battery is initially 100 cycles old and degrades at a rate of 0.043% per cycle meaning that its initial degraded state is 95.7% and it will continue to degrade over the course of the simulation horizon as it accumulates cycles.
