Abstract

Presents 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.
