Calculation method
Calculation method
Required above-cap output energy (kWh)
No intra-window recharging: integrate load above target cap; efficiency adjusts storage energy, supplied power limit flags unmet peaks.
Required ideal starting stored energy (kWh)
No intra-window recharging: integrate load above target cap; efficiency adjusts storage energy, supplied power limit flags unmet peaks.
Required peak discharge (kW)
No intra-window recharging: integrate load above target cap; efficiency adjusts storage energy, supplied power limit flags unmet peaks.
Unmet above-cap energy due to power limit (kWh)
No intra-window recharging: integrate load above target cap; efficiency adjusts storage energy, supplied power limit flags unmet peaks.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- User-supplied measurements and assumptions; No intra-window recharging: integrate load above target cap; efficiency adjusts storage energy, supplied power limit flags unmet peaks. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
