Dimensioning a Battery

[Kenneth Maes]

Hello,

We would like to dimension a battery for a client in PV-Sol. However, we have the quarter-hour values (15-minute intervals) for both power consumption and injection current. We've overlaid these values, resulting in a negative number when injection occurs.

Since we now know our injection values, we want to specify a battery to see what efficiency it can provide. However, in PV-Sol, I’m required to input solar panels as well, and the software cannot handle negative values. Is there a solution for this?

 

Thank you

Dear Kenneth Maes,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Do we understand you correctly that the battery is to be charged exclusively from the grid and discharged exclusively into the grid? Do you have no other generators or consumers?

PV*SOL is designed to simulate the power generation of photovoltaic systems (with or without batteries and with or without consumers). Unfortunately, it is not possible to simulate batteries without a PV system.
