OVERVIEW
Battery aging, replacement timing, operating strategy, performance decay, and lifecycle economics for new and second-life storage systems.
Lifecycle decisions
- How quickly will the battery degrade under the proposed dispatch?
- When should replacement or augmentation be planned?
- How does degradation change lifecycle cost and reliability?
Degradation outputs
- SOH and usable-capacity trajectory
- Cycle, throughput, and replacement assumptions
- Lifecycle cost and performance sensitivity
- New battery vs second-life comparison inputs
Battery inputs
- Battery chemistry, SOH, warranty, and EOL threshold
- Dispatch profile, cycles, DoD, and temperature assumptions
- Replacement cost and O&M assumptions
- Planning horizon and reliability requirement
