Everything below comes from what CRRC Zhuzhou Institute publishes about the 5.X Centralized Liquid Cooling Energy Storage System: the datasheet, the product page and press releases. Where a figure is not published, the field says so — we do not estimate.
Variants
Energy figures are nominal (beginning of life) as published by the manufacturer. One model, several duration options — the same enclosure with different power ratings.
| Variants | Energy | Power | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| CESS-L5016-EU/US-0.5C — 5.016 MWh + 1250 kW×4 turnkey station | 5.016 MWh | 5 MW | 2 h |
| CESS-L5016-EU/US-0.25C — 5.016 MWh + 1250 kW×2 turnkey station | 5.016 MWh | 2.5 MW | 4 h |

Key facts
- 20-ft DC battery compartment (5.016 MWh, ≤44 t) paired with a separate 40-ft MV turnkey station (1250 kW central PCS ×4 or ×2, oil-immersed transformer 0.69/33 or 34.5 kV)
- EU (33 kV, IEC) and US (34.5 kV, UL 1973/9540/9540A, FCC, NFPA 69) versions
- RTE 94% — 1 cycle/day at 25 °C, 97% DOD, end of first year; MV-side system efficiency ≥86%
- Power figures refer to the paired PCS station, not the battery container itself
- Cycle life and warranty not published
