BATTERY SIZING
Let us have total load of 16 kW with 0.8 pf, which needs to be supported by battery
Categories backup for at least 1 hr, when the grid fails. Before choosing the battery with respect to
cost or brand, there are many questions to be answered
Equipments
Which type of battery?
Battery
C-rating of the battery?
What is the UPS Voltage window?
Cable
UPS rating?
Capacitor No: of Batteries (blocs) required?

UPS BATTERY SIZING CALCULATION: Leave a message
Battery load of UPS should be calculated by considering the following 4 margin factors
Relay
as shown below Home Services Projects B
Coordination
Study Actual load / Inverter Efficiency = Nominal battery load
Temperature correction factor x Design Margin x Aging Margin x Overloading factor =
Short Circuit Battery load
Study
Selected Battery type Sealed Maintanence Free VRLA.
Traction Power UPS Output rating = 20 kVA
System Output Power Factor = 0.8
Actual Load = 16 kW
Uncategorized
Inverter Efficiency (EFF) = 94%
Nominal Battery load = 17.02 kW
Temperature correction factor for 25°C = 1.00
Design Margin = 1.10
Aging Margin = 1.25
Overloading Factor = 1.10
Calculated Battery load = 25.74 kW
End Cell Voltage (ECV) should be maintained
well within the voltage window of the UPS.
Nominal DC voltage = 400 Vdc
Maximum Rectifier equalizing voltage = 432 Vdc We're offline
Inverter low voltage cut-off = 290 Vdc Leave a message
Voltage drop of DC cables is assumed = 2 Vdc
Minimum required UPS voltage = 292 Vdc Home Services Projects B
Boost charge = 2.4 Vdc
Equalizing Cell Voltage = 2.25 Vdc
End cell Voltage (ECV) Selected = 1.75 V/Cell
Nominal Cell Voltage = 2 V/Cell
Battery Model Selected = LX-12 150
Total [Link] cell x ECV > Cut-off voltage
Let us assume 1 hr be the required backup time
Minimum number of cells required = 166.86 Nos.
Total number of cells selected = 180.00 Nos.
Backup time = 60 mins.
Required cell discharge for 1hrs in Watts = 143.03 W/cell
Available cell discharge for 1hrs in Watts = 203 W/cell
[Link] strings = 1 Nos.
Number of cells per bloc = 6 Nos.
As the selected battery bloc is 12V
(Total [Link] 2V cells) / 6 = [Link] Blocs
180/6 = 30
Number of blocs required = 30 Nos.
