Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for offsetting parasitic energy losses of a battery energy storage system (BESS). A method may include determining, by one or more processors of a renewable energy power plant coupled to an energy grid, a condition is satisfied; and responsive to the determination, adjusting, by the one or more processors, a state of a switch from a first state configured to couple a second BESS with a renewable energy source (RES) to a second state configured to couple the second BESS with the BESS. The RES configured to charge the T-BESS when the switch is in the first state and the T-BESS configured to send energy to the devices to satisfy energy requirements of the devices when the switch is in the second state.
