AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) differ in the following ways in energy storage systems: AC is used in most commercial and residential applications, while battery cells require DC for charging and output DC power. In an AC coupled system, power from the PV modules is converted to AC prior to connecting to the ESS.
In a DC-coupled system, dc output power from the PV modules directly charges the ESS. This system architecture relies only on a single multimode inverter that is fed by both the PV array and ESS. No dc-to-ac conversion is required between the PV array and ESS.
The main difference between AC and DC-coupled systems lies in their inverter setup. A DC-coupled system relies on only a single multimode inverter, which limits its capacity. On the other hand, an AC-coupled system has two inverters (one interactive and one multimode), both of which feed the backup loads panel. This allows the backup loads panel to have the combined kW capacity of both inverters available during an outage while the sun is still shining.

One of the main challenges in using 2nd life batteries is determining and predicting the end of life. As it is done for the first life usage, the state of health (SoH) decrease for 2nd life batteries is also commonly fixed to 20%, leading to an end of life (EoL) capacity of 60% [12, 13].This EoL criterion is mainly driven by the start of non-linear ageing.
