Does continues partial charging/discharging do any harm to the BESS performance and degradation?

For a grid connected BESS (lets say 100 MW/200 MWh system, LFP battery), if we charge the BESS in such a way that whenever we can access power from the solar that will charge the BESS. Hence it...

Dear Hamoda

I attached some papers describe the loss in the flat plate solar collectors.

And a review paper of the last ten years experimental results.

I hope you find them useful.

Best Regards
