The initial part of a Ragone plot is defined by self-discharge.

6 The initial part of a Ragone plot is never defined by self-discharge.

7 For a SMES the initial energy is available when approaching the minimum power.

8 For a SMES the initial energy is available when approaching the maximum power.

9 When discharging a battery at maximum power the available energy is very close to the initial one.

10 When discharging a battery at maximum power the available energy is half the initial one.

1 There are at least four (4) main classifications of microgrids, based on the applications.

2 Peer-to-peer control architecture for microgrids is particularly apt for a plug-and-play approach.
