I am working on a pilot project for an inexpensive power system consisted of
- x 48V 1KW wind turbine and a
- w x 4 solar array for a small town in Africa to power street lights and a radio transmitter.
I wanted to know whether or not to fully-charge the Lead-Acid Batteries when installing the system.
I would imagine there must be an industrial formula where the power from the hybrid source, the load, battery-size and other parameters are taken into consideration before choosing whether to install fully charged batteries, partially charged or completely discharged?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Usman.
