The power loss of the network element includes the power loss when the current passes through the resistance and the equivalent reactance of the element and the loss when the voltage is applied to the equivalent admittance to ground of the element. Considering the low voltage level of the energy storage system connected to the power grid, the loss on the parallel admittance can be ignored.
