In is stop we define wich votiage wil possess the batey system , for instance 12Vots, 24Vots or 48Vots. This declsion key since also defines the siz of the cabling inthe solar syste. The larger the batey voltage, the smaller the current through the system, {Based on ths nformaton we can calculate the sizeof the contri depends f we deci t install a pum ora mopt technology. The sizeof the controler wil be mainly defined by the charge-curent forthe batiry and the load connected othe controler (n case ws dacide to connect a oad dacty tothe contrat) hos nmnarcaclevepnersoteletester-aens! ‘8Dmeaonng ot Stastny Sysons| SatyEney Sytons 7 Inte last step we sloct the sullable inverter for the system. The main characteristics fortis device are the maximum power requed by the AC Loads and he efficiency a he inverter ») System Battery/BMS: ‘Once we calculated the energy -equied in our OfGra System, we can proceed to dimension the hater syst. Lets suppose we require 1200Wh dally fr our system, In tis case each Battery cel possesses 3,2 Volt cls. The capac of each atlary cell canbe, fr instance, S0Ah, 105A or 280A. in our applications we will use a 105Ah Battery call capac Let suppose our baller has nominal capaciy of 105Ah and the vliage ofa batlery cll i 3,2Vals. In this regaré i hie nominal capacity fs multiplied by the voltage ofthe battery cal, we Would obtain a second capacty whieh i called the energy capacity which Is much more usell fr dimension purposes This means the energy capacity of each battery cells n this case Energy Capacity = 3:2 Vols X 105Ah = 336 Wh 8) Battory Systems of 12Velts 105A [Now ite consider the four cos ofthe Bator, we would have the folowing xaa "Nominal Battery Voltage sav Nominal Energy capaciy = 12,8V X 105An = 1344 Wh (oye Eneray capacity = (Nominal Energy Capacty)0.8 = 1075.2 Wh ) Battery Systems of 24Voits 1054n Now ite consider the four cas ofthe Battery, we would have the following Nominal Battery Voi hos nmnsrcayclevepnersoteletter-aens!‘ona, raat ew Dreaonng ot Sobran Sysons| BatyEney Sytons Nominal Energy capacity = 25,6V X 105AN = 2688 Wh Coycle Energy capacity = (Nominal Energy Capacty)0.8 = 2150.4 Wh hos nmnarcaclevepnersoteletester-aens!
