Abstract
A method for determining a derating factor for a rechargeable energy storage system. The derating factor is indicative of the rate at which an electrical load, imparted on said rechargeable energy storage system, is reduced, said rechargeable energy storage system being associated with at least a first load threshold and at least a second load threshold being located further away from a zero electrical load value than the first load threshold. The method includes determining a safety margin value by combining an accumulated first load value and an accumulated second load value and relating the thus combined values with said operating time range, and comparing said safety margin value to at least one safety margin threshold value in order to determine whether or not said derating factor should be modified.
