Assumptions

 4 hours from Solar radiation

 4 Hours from DG set10 KVA

 16 hours from Solar and battery

 Load taken as 1 KW.

Site conditions

 24 KWh is required per day of this load

 4 KWh from solar ( 2KWh from peak 4

hours during summers)

 4 KWh from DG (4 hours of DG run)

 16 KWh from Battery and solar

 In 4 hours of DG run pumping in 20 KWh

into battery @ C15 taking 50% to 70%
efficiency, get 10 to 14 KWh from Battery is a
shortfall of 6 to 2 KWh which would be taken
from battery and it would be in partial
discharge always.

RECOMMENDED SOLAR & WIND (HYBRID) SOLUTION

• It is seen that the load itself is not being fulfilled by the Solar panels and there is no
additional energy to charge the batteries during daytime.
• To overcome this short fall either to increase the panel size, install micro wind turbine
depending on wind condition.
• For average 1600W load ideal solar panel size is 6kWP (60 sqm area of solar panels).
• Suggested solution would be
• 3kWP from solar (30m^2)
• 3~4.5kWP from wind turbine
• Battery bank to be sized properly based on the panel size, load and Depth of discharge
required. Remote monitoring of BB health to be done.
• Automation of cell site to improve uptime and proper monitoring.
