Description / Abstract:
This guide provides rationale and guidance for operating
lead-acid batteries in remote hybrid power systems, taking into
consideration system loads and the capacities of the system's
renewable-energy generator(s), dispatchable generator(s), and
battery(s). It also provides guidance for selecting an appropriate
lead-acid battery technology for various system operating
strategies.
Purpose
Using the information provided in this guide, the performance
and life of the lead-acid battery can be optimized for the
particular operational strategy selected for the remote hybrid
power system. The information provided is intended for use by
remote hybrid system designers, system evaluators, owners and
operators.
