Material Detail

An interactive open-access computational simulation workbench for modeling non-linear electrochemical rate capacity degradation (Peukert's Law) and power electronics tare losses in stationary Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) under IEEE Std 485 and UL 1973 standards.

The simulation allows engineering students and electrical apprentices to parameterize battery chemistry (LiFePO4 k = 1.02–1.05 vs. Flooded Lead-Acid k = 1.25–1.35), nominal battery capacity (Amp-hours / Watt-hours), depth-of-discharge (DoD) operational safety limits, and continuous inverter quiescent tare dissipation (15W to 65W).

The workbench computes instantaneous C-rate discharge current, effective delivered capacity, and operational backup runtime without latency or server-side telemetry. Designed for undergraduate electrical power curricula, vocational IBEW/NECA apprenticeship training, and microgrid laboratory courses.
