This brief chapter explains how to estimate the total daily energy demand of the lamps and appliances in a system. A practical example shows exactly how this is done.
An off-grid solar system''s size depends on factors such as your daily energy consumption, local sunlight availability, chosen equipment, the
This quan tity of energy is called the total daily load energy demand, and is measured in watt hours. It is calculated by totalling the energy that all the appliances and lamps use on an average day. This number, added to the extra energy needed to over come system losses, is the total daily system energy requirement (see Chapter 9).
The energy storage capacity, E, is calculated using the efficiency calculated above to represent energy losses in the BESS itself. This is an approximation since actual battery efficiency will depend on operating parameters such as charge/discharge rate (Amps) and temperature.
The overall load represents the total energy consumption in a day, encompassing the energy used by individual loads and other devices powered by the solar battery storage system.
To calculate the total daily energy demand of the load, add up the energy in watt hours required by each lamp and appli ance per day. Table 7.1 provides a step by step method of carrying out this calcula tion. It is identical to the table found in Worksheet 1, page 107. The instructions below explain how to fill in the table:
Peak Load = 5 * 5.5 * 0.9 = 24.75kW Maximum demand = Peak load / power factor =24.75 / 0.86 = 28.77kVA Look at the table of India’s all-state maximum demand charges per kVA. The penalty is applicable when the maximum demand exceeds the contracted demands.
Maximum Demand= Connected Load x Load Factor / Power Factor. In India, Maharashtra state MSEB has 30 minutes’ block, which means, the continuous peak demand will be calculated within any 30 minutes. Gujarat has 15 minutes and 30 minutes’ block. Note that the maximum demand will be calculated from kVA only. Example:
