Eni S.p.A. Rev. 1 June 2003
Exploration & Production Division Sheet 11 di 17

Each unit shall provide the control of the Pb or Ni-Cd accumulation batteries voltage, in
accordance with the Data Sheet.

Each single unit and related auxiliary equipment shall be installed on a panel and
assembled on a 19’’ rotating rack.
A temperature sensor properly placed within the battery room will be connected to the
system for the automatic control of the voltage value at the battery charge end.
Each unit shall act on its relevant array, which shall be inserted on the load in function of
the value of voltage in the batteries.
Each unit is functionally independent of the others, in order that the failure of one of the
units does not interfere with the operations of the others.

a) Electric Charge Regulator

The electric charge regulator shall provide at least the following operating functions:
1) Selection of battery type and its related voltage parameters, which shall dictate
the various automatic interventions.
2) Charge the batteries with a constant voltage system or a step-by-step system.
During the constant voltage charge, the regulator will continue charging the
battery until it reaches the maximum charge capacity (given by a thermowell, or
previously established). When it reaches the maximum charge, the charge shall
be stopped and it will be restarted after a pre-set period of time.
In the event that the photovoltaic generation system is not able to supply
enough power to obtain the maximum charge voltage, the shutdown device will
be activated, and the regulator will restart the charging operations after a pre-
set period of time.
During the step-by-step charging, the shutdown device will remain close until
the system has reached its maximum charge level. The system will
successively and constantly control the batteries voltage, and when it goes
below 1.4V with respect to the maximum limit of the charge end voltage , the
shutdown device will be shut again, and the regulator restarts the electric
charge phase.
The current shutdown device can be electromechanical or electronic; it must
guarantee the maximum reliability and duration, taking into consideration the
expected commuting daily frequency and the commuted power.
In both types of charge, prior to activating the shutdown device, the system
must carry out all the necessary tests to verify the relevant conditions, in
particular:
The regulator will activate the charge phase when the following conditions
are met:
VP > VB
where: VP = Panel voltage
VB = Battery voltage
The regulator will stop the charge phase when the following conditions are
met:
VB ≥ V Max.
Ic = 0
where: V Max = Battery maximum charge voltage (given by the
thermowell, or by the pre-set maximum value)
Ic = Current between the panel and the battery
3) For Pb batteries, after each relatively deep discharge (up to 70 - 80% charge
status), the regulator shall recharge up to the compensation voltage and
maintain the battery at the buffer voltage.

c) D. C. distribution and interconnection panel
Whenever required on the Data Sheets, this panel includes two sections, and is
integrated on the same Regulation and Control System Panel.
– Interconnections section: it shall include one or more terminal blocks for the
incoming and the outgoing of all the cables and the Panel internal cabling.
– D.C. distribution section: this section includes all the components (switches,
relays, etc.) for the power supply and the storage power supply in accordance
with the Data Sheet. The following control instruments, protection and
disconnecting devices, can be mounted on this panel in compliance with the
project specifications:
– Voltmeter for the battery voltage;
– Ammeter for each output on the loads;
– Ammeter for the current supply from the photovoltaic field;
– Fused switches on the incomings from the photovoltaic field.
The charges connected to the panel must allow operating functions within the
battery voltage variation field; otherwise, a proper voltage stabiliser must be
inserted.
The connection circuits (and the corresponding disconnectors and fuses) among the
regulator, the storage battery and the users shall be designed in such a way that the
power supply will never take place from the photovoltaic field without having the
battery in parallel, because in the event of this happening, the voltage would be
increased above the safety limits.

of at least 100 hours).
– The estimated degradation of capacity after 10 years of service, with the charging
cycles indicated on the Data Sheet, shall be as low as possible.

on the tilted structure. The number of antennas required will be calculated by
considering a minimum distance of 10 cm.

2.4.3.10. Electromagnetic Interference

Any disturbance to telecommunication shall be eliminated, or ruled in accordance with

the provision of the C.I.S.P.R. (International Special Committee on Radio Interference).
