Power Shifting Excess Power Demand Demand PV Power + - Battery 1-3-4. Batteries • why battery is necessary? • In an SHS or Independent small grid system, PV’s output power does not meet with demand. • PV’s can generate in daytime only. But demand, such as lighting television, is almost nighttime load. • In main grid interconnected system, other diesel generator compensate this unbalance. So battery is not necessary. • Most systems of this type require “power shifting” by battery. • But batteries are expensive and their lifetime is not enough for PV’s. Therefore, batteries need replacing.
1-3-4. Batteries • Technical requirements for battery To allow optimal use of battery storage in a PV system, the following requirements should be met: • High efficiency (ratio between supply energy and storage energy); • Long lifecycle in frequent charge/discharge regimes; • High resistance at high temperature environments; ( 0 to 50deg.C); • Low self-discharge; • High ratio capacity/volume; • Low cost; • Rare maintenance processes.

Batteries • Various type of battery • The below rechargeable batteries are available, but lead -acid batteries are used most often for power-shifting with solar cells because of their price and reliability. • Outlook of Lead-Acid batteries

Batteries • DOD (Depth Of Discharge) • Lifetime shortens if the battery is completely discharged, therefore discharging is limited in use. • The ratio of discharge level to the battery’s full capacity is called as DOB (%). • If DOD is kept shallow, the amount of chargeable energy will be low, even with the same kind of battery. However, lifetime will be longer.
