- s1artibartfast 3y agoI still don't understand why GW would be capacity, and GWh is duration. I would think capacity would be gigawatt-hours, and max delivery rate would be gigawatts
- s0rce 3y agoFrom a grid operator perspective its capacity https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/what-generation-capacity https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/what-generation-capacity Capacity = Maximum Power Output Capacity is the amount of electricity a generator can produce when it’s running at full blast. This maximum amount of power is typically measured in megawatts (MW) or kilowatts and helps utilities project just how big of an electricity load a generator can handle.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoThanks, that makes a lot more sense then storage capacity. What's the rationale for calling actual energy storage capacity duration?
- s0rce 3y agoduration is how long the storage will last which is related to the energy storage which you could call capacity but they already used that word so I guess duration makes sense... I'm not a grid operator though
