The primary disadvantages of a BESS include its significant upfront cost, a finite operational lifespan due to battery degradation, round-trip efficiency losses (you don't get 100% of the stored energy back), the physical space it requires, and end-of-life recycling challenges.
The rated energy capacity of a battery energy storage system (BESS) must be no less than the usable energy capacity calculated using either Equation 140.
