Available total capacity (D) = 84,814 [Wh/day] 7,068 [Ah/day]

(include Battery efficiency)

○ To calculculate the battery size

The size of the batteries represented as amp-hours [Ah] can be calculated from
the following equation (10-1)
C =capacity of battery [Ah]
Ec = Daily energy consumption in watt hour [Wh]
N = Number of days for system to be available without wind power charging the battery [day]
(the 'autonomy' typically three to five days)
D = Maximum allowable depth of discharge (DOD) represented as a decimal
U = Voltage of battery (in this case is 12[V])

Ec = 1,050 [Wh/day]
N= 3 [day]
D= 0.5 [DOD]
U= 12 [V]

C= 525 [Ah]
