Battery Degradation Modeling for Dispatch Optimization

Degradation-aware dispatch treats cycle depth, temperature, and C-rate as real costs. In practice, this often increases lifetime value compared to revenue-only scheduling — especially when duty cycles change across seasons.

Start with a simple model you can validate, then refine as operating data accumulates.

What to track

• Throughput and equivalent full cycles.
• SoC windows and time-at-high-SoC.
• Temperature exposure and HVAC constraints.
• Warranty terms and performance guarantees.

Practical takeaway: make lifetime cost visible to dispatch decisions and performance KPIs.
