Cycle aging

Degradation caused by charging and discharging: mechanical strain in the particles, fresh SEI on cracked surfaces and, at high rate or low temperature, lithium plating. It scales with charge throughput and grows with depth of discharge and C-rate.

Energy management system

The site-level controller of a storage system that decides when to charge and discharge according to prices, grid signals and the battery’s limits, and dispatches those commands to the BMS and inverters.

Equivalent full cycle

Total charge throughput divided by nominal capacity, so that many shallow cycles count as the equivalent number of full ones. It lets cycle life be compared across different duty cycles.

Levelized cost of storage

The total lifetime cost of a storage system divided by the total energy it will discharge, in currency per megawatt-hour. It folds cell price, efficiency, cycle life and degradation into one figure for comparing technologies.

Battery warranty

The manufacturer’s guarantee of capacity retention over time, for electric cars typically 70 % after 8 years or 160 000 km. It is written against state of health as the BMS reports it, which makes the SOH algorithm a contractual matter.
