System Sizing

How to determine the right BESS configuration for your project

Key Input Parameters

  • Peak load (kW) — maximum power demand
  • Average load (kW) — typical operating power
  • Critical load (kW) — must-run equipment during outages
  • Required backup time (hours) — autonomy during outages
  • Existing PV capacity (kWp) — solar generation profile
  • Diesel generator capacity (kVA) — current backup setup
  • Electricity tariff structure — time-of-use rates

Sizing Methodology

  • Step 1: Analyze load profile and identify backup requirements
  • Step 2: Determine PCS power rating based on peak/critical load
  • Step 3: Calculate battery capacity from backup duration and load
  • Step 4: Evaluate PV integration potential and self-consumption
  • Step 5: Select E261 or E1044, or parallel configuration

Configuration Examples

  • Small factory (50kW critical, 4h backup): 1x E261
  • Medium factory (100kW critical, 4h backup): 1x E261
  • Large factory (200kW critical, 4h backup): 2x E261 parallel
  • Industrial facility (400kW, 2h backup): 1x E1044
  • MW-scale project: multiple E1044 units
