|
Total Rated kV |
This is the total voltage rating of the battery string. |
|
Charging Multiplier |
This is multiplier for the battery voltage reflecting the charge condition. For example, a fully charged battery could have 1.05 and a slightly drained battery may have 0.95 as the charging multiplier. |
|
Total R |
This is the internal resistance of the battery string in ohms. |
|
Rated Amps |
The rated amperes of the battery or battery string. Most batteries typically have the ampere-hour rating on an 8-hour basis. The nominal amp rating is the ampere-hour divided by 8 for such batteries. If the battery rating in ampere-hours is given at a different discharge duration, then divide by the stated number. |
Note: Batteries are modeled as a straight Thevenin voltage source behind a resistance. They HOLD voltage behind an internal resistance like a swing bus. Batteries have the ability to be the single source that enables a system to enter power flow and solve the system.
