Hi, I noticed that SAM does not have a field for adding the consumption of BESS cooling/others. I added this as a loss in another field. It would be interesting to consider this in the next versions.

Is self-energy BESS not considered in the model by default?

Congratulations on the work of the SAM team, the software is excellent.

Hi Pao,

SAM's battery model accounts for the effect of battery temperature on battery life, but it does not account for the power required to maintain the battery at a desired temperature. As you suggest, you can account for that power requirement using one of the loss inputs.

The default efficiency and loss values do not account for power requirements for temperature control.

Best regards,
Paul.
