Systems and methods for estimating battery degradation of a battery energy storage system (BESS) are disclosed. An iterative process is executed over a pre-defined time period divided into iterations. For each iteration, an average temperature of the BESS is determined by inputting a state of health (SOH) and charge rate into an average temperature look-up-table (LUT). The SOH for the next iteration is determined by inputting the determined average temperature into a set of cell degradation equations. The charge rate for the next iteration is derived from a usage profile which defines the charging and discharging cycles over the pre-defined time period and includes power and SOC over the pre-defined time period. The SOH of the BESS over the pre-defined time period may then be displayed on a user interface.
