DC Battery Sizing

10/19/2011 12:30 AM

I am sizing a DC battery bank for my hydro project of 6x200 MW capacity. should i directly multiply my loads(I) with time(t) to get AH capacity of battery or do i need to adopt some other method. If so, then please inform me.

This project is dead on arrival. Battery storage is totally stupid for this much capacity.

(Ignoring 1-phase vs 3-phase, as well as various losses, battery AH = Wt/V; where V is battery voltage, W is load in watts, and t is hours.)

Right - 1.2 gW is a fantastic amount of power - sounds like a school assignment to me.

One point twenty one gigawatts? One point twenty one gigawatts? Great Scott!

Maybe he's going Back to the Future.

If that's the case, he's going to need a "flux capacitor", not batteries

GA. Only through dams power in the range of Megawatts can be stored; not by any other mean. But when you have already stored energy in the form "Hydro" why again to store?

If you are talking about emergency backup power for your control system then you might say so.

If you can mail me your mail ID thro this forum's mailbox, I can send you some battery sizing calculations that we have done for a 2 x 500MW Thermal Power Plant

Right - how much storage did you consider?

For a power plant of 6x200 MW capacity you will need Essential and Emergency power supplies as follows:

(a)Power supplies for the protection, emergency shut down and switchgear operation rated usually at 110 volts DC.

(b) 220 V Single phase essential power for the anti-condensation heaters, essential lighting and for battery chargers.

(c) 48 volts or 24 volts essential dc power supplies for DCS / SCADA and Communication (instrumentation).

  • Typical rating of 110 volts DC system for the high voltage substation is 30 to 50 kva.
  • Typical rating of 110 volts DC system for the 6x200 MW power house is 30 to 50 kva is separate from the substation.
  • For the essential loads 220 v AC usually a 500 KVA three phase diesel generator is installed and the single phase loads are evenly distributed.
  • 48v / 24 volt requirement is best left to the instrumentation department or should also be around 30 to 50 KVA.
