Description / Abstract:
This guide contains a field test procedure for lead-acid
batteries used in PV hybrid power systems. Battery charging
parameters are discussed with respect to PV hybrid power systems.
The field test procedure is intended to verify the battery's
operating setpoints and battery performance. Discussion on how to
interpret test results is also included. This guide is applicable
to all PV hybrid power systems where PV and an engine generator are
the only charging sources. This guide does not include stand-alone
PV-only systems.
Purpose
This guide provides a field test and evaluation procedure
for lead-acid batteries used in PV hybrid power systems. It is
intended to help system owners, designers, and funding
organizations to select, manage, and verify lead-acid battery
performance in PV hybrid power systems.
