esDescriptor.xml : Energy Storage System
For inherited tags that have not been modified please see the componentDescriptorInterface.xml
documentation.
If a tag is inherited, but has been modified or limited in its use it is denoted with an * in the title.
All these tags are used in the tool.
The childOf
tag names the direct parent. For the esDescriptor
implementation this is componentDescriptorInterface
implementation.
Electrical energy storage systems are "sink-source".
Attributes:
value
: "sink-source"
The lossMap
tag describes the loss experienced by the energy storage system for each state of power, energy and ambient temperature. They are described by the tuples 'pPu' for power, 'ePu' for the state of charge, 'tempAmb' for the ambient (outside) temperature and 'lossRate' for the loss.
Attributes:
value
: The power flow of the energy storage in per unit of nameplate power capacity. Positive values of power are used for discharging and negative values for charging. Default values are -1, 0 and 1 pu.
unit
: pu.
value
: The energy stored in the energy storage in per unit of nameplate energy capacity. Default values are 0 and 1.
unit
: pu.
value
: The ambient (outside) temperature in Kelvin. Default value is 298 K.
unit
: K.
value
: The loss rate of the energy storage in kW. It should include all losses including secondary systems. The Default value is 0.
unit
: kW.
The chargeRate
tag is the fraction of power that it would take to fully charge or discharge the ESS that is the maximum charge or discharge power. This creates charging and discharging curves that exponentially approach full and zero charge. 'value' should be between 0 and 1.
Attributes:
value
: A fraction between 0 and 1. The default value is 0.1.
unit
: NONE.
