Ratio of energy storage by category

What is the difference between energy capacity and E/P ratio?

Energy capacity (kWh) is the total amount of energy the storage module can deliver. E/P ratio is the storage module’s energy capacity divided by its power rating (= energy capacity/power rating). The E/P ratio represents the duration (hours, minutes, or seconds) the storage module can operate while delivering its rated output.

What are the different types of energy storage?

Note that other categorizations of energy storage types have also been used such as electrical energy storage vs thermal energy storage, and chemical vs mechanical energy storage types, including pumped hydro, flywheel and compressed air energy storage.

What is the difference between power rating and energy capacity?

Power rating (or rated output/size, kW) is the instantaneous demand requirement the storage module can supply. Energy capacity (kWh) is the total amount of energy the storage module can deliver. E/P ratio is the storage module’s energy capacity divided by its power rating (= energy capacity/power rating).

What is E/P ratio?

E/P ratio is the storage module’s energy capacity divided by its power rating (= energy capacity/power rating). The E/P ratio represents the duration (hours, minutes, or seconds) the storage module can operate while delivering its rated output. Pumped storage hydropower is a mature technology.

How to assess the technical performance of different energy storage types?

To assess the technical performance of various energy storage types, design parameters such as efficiency, energy capacity, energy density, run time, capital investment costs, response time, lifetime in years and cycles, self-discharge and maturity are often considered [149, 150, 152].
