Scope
This guide provides rationale and guidance for operating lead-acid batteries in remote hybrid power systems@ taking into consideration system loads and the capacities of the system??s renewable-energy generator(s)@ dispatchable generator(s)@ and battery(s). It also provides guidance for selecting an appropriate lead-acid battery technology for various system operating strategies. Purpose Using the information provided in this guide@ the performance and life of the lead-acid battery can be optimized for the particular operational strategy selected for the remote hybrid power system. The information provided is intended for use by remote hybrid system designers@ system evaluators@ owners and operators.
