Battery Sizing Starts with Clean Data: Gaps, Time Zones and Meter Resets
Audit interval load data before battery sizing: units, timestamps, missing readings, resets and model conventions. Includes a reproducible data-handover checklist.
One Battery, Several Peaks: Test the Recharge Gap Before Buying
A battery sized for one demand peak may miss the next. Review BESS recharge gaps, import headroom, reserves and chronological dispatch before approving capacity.
PV Curtailment with BESS: What Happens When the Battery Is Full?
A full battery cannot absorb more PV surplus on demand. Specify solar curtailment, charge-limit response and recovery for grid-connected and islanded BESS operation.
