1.2.3.5. Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) The energy storage system (ESS) is essential for EVs. EVs need a lot of various features to drive a vehicle such as high energy density, power density, good life cycle, and many others but these features can''t be fulfilled by an individual energy storage system.
Once online, the solar-plus-storage system will operate under a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the state-owned St. Kitts Electric Company (SKELEC), charging a flat rate for the entire period.
