Sizing and duty cycle design
Establishing hours, cycles and depth of discharge from the contracted obligation, which determines size and chemistry.
From the duty cycle rather than from the plant capacity. How many hours of discharge, how many cycles a day, how deep each cycle goes, and what the site is contractually required to deliver. Those four answers determine both the size and the chemistry, and getting them wrong is the most expensive error in storage.
What this includes
- Contracted delivery obligation analysis
- Generation profile modelling for the site
- Cycles per day and depth of discharge definition
- Capacity and power rating sizing
- Chemistry recommendation against the duty cycle
- Lifetime throughput and replacement point estimate
- What you receiveOutput
- Sizing report with duty cycle definition and chemistry recommendation
- When you need itTiming
- Before any storage is specified or priced.
Sizing on capacity rather than duty. A battery specified for the wrong cycle profile degrades far faster than its warranty assumes.
