Solar Batteries 101, Part 1

You can retrofit an AC-coupled battery to any existing solar power system. Disadvantages of AC Coupling: There are ''more stops'' with the DC->AC->DC conversion, so it''s a little less efficient. Another drawback of AC coupling is rules on system sizing from your local electricity network.

The AC-coupled facility will be a 10 MW / 42 MWh lithium ion battery. In its documentation, Vistra Energy notes that the solar power plant has a peak output of ''nearly 200 MW,'' even though its interconnection application is only 180 MW. Thus, the energy storage plant will be used to capture the power that is being clipped.
