Transmission losses are on the order of a couple percent. Most of these large sites are literally composed of 1-2 mwh containerized units side by side.
- anovikov 2y agoTransmission losses are not high, but AC/DC conversion losses are significant. Whenever there's a chance to avoid an extra conversion it's inefficient to miss it. While as other commenter said, this is only pertinent to solar, not to wind. Speaking of saving on transmission capacity i didn't mean "limiting transmission losses" but "avoiding hitting the limit of transmission power lines because the power will travel a shorter distance between the producer and the battery".
