Calculation method

Calculation method

Round-trip energy efficiency (%)

Energy efficiency=delivered energy/charging energy; input and output must cover matching initial/final stored-energy boundaries.

Energy loss (kWh)

Energy efficiency=delivered energy/charging energy; input and output must cover matching initial/final stored-energy boundaries.

Measurement consistency flag

Energy efficiency=delivered energy/charging energy; input and output must cover matching initial/final stored-energy boundaries.

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Energy efficiency=delivered energy/charging energy; input and output must cover matching initial/final stored-energy boundaries. 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.
