Roundtrip efficiency

Roundtrip efficiency is a key performance metric for an energy storage system (ESS) that characterizes the loss energy during a full cycle of charge and discharge cycle. It is defined as the ratio of the energy output from the system during discharge to the energy input supplied during charging. A higher round-trip efficiency indicates lower energy losses and operational costs. The efficiency can be expressed as a percentage using the formula:
