One limitation of the ESS that should be acknowledged is that the round-trip efficiency of storage and retrieval processes causes energy losses. Battery storage systems'' round-trip efficiency ranges between 85% and 95%, but losses to heat and parasitic loads are the current hurdles. This hurts the site''s energy usage.
