This definition means that charging power and discharging power will modify the state of energy of the storage system differently via the following equation. ∆SOE= [η*ch-dis]*dt. Where η is the roundtrip efficiency of the storage system and dt is the time resolution of the data. Other things can modify the state of energy of the storage
Storage Safety
Storage Safety. By its very nature, any form of stored energy poses some sort of hazard. In general, energy that is stored has the potential for release in an uncontrolled manner, potentially endangering equipment, the environment, or people. All energy storage systems have hazards. Some hazards are easily mitigated to reduce

Battery Energy Storage Lifecyle Cost Assessment Summary
While this cost metric may be appropriate for other forms of generation, including renewable energy, it has the potential to be misused for storage because the power-to-energy ratio will impact the normalized cost. For a 4-hour system, most costs were in the $2/kw-yr – $6/kW-yr range for large scale systems. Category.

Recycling and Disposal of Battery-Based Grid Energy Storage
At a cost of $175/hour for 4 hours, this step is estimated to cost $700. If the system did contain a liquid cooling methods, the ethylene glycol and water would need to be drained and placed into containers for disposal prior to transporting the PCS unit. We estimate this step would take 1 person 2 hours to complete.
