CHAPTER 5 Capstone BATTERY MANAGEMENT equalization charge (refer to the next section) prior to commanding the system to the Stand Alone Load state if the application requires maximum step load capability. Equalization Charge The microturbine will perform an equalization charge cycle periodically to maintain an equal charge in all battery cells. This equalization charge may be automated or commanded manually (charges to 100% state-of-charge) and may take up to four hours. Equalization charging may be disallowed during certain hours of certain days of the week to prevent interference with dispatch schedules. In Stand Alone mode, the software will automatically initiate an equalization charge based on watt- hours usage of the battery pack. For full time Stand Alone operation, this occurs approximately once per week. A small amount of power produced by the microturbine is provided to the battery pack to bring it up to 100 percent state-of-charge. Note that this power is not available to output loads, and the user may program allowable times for this charge to take place. In Dual Mode configuration, the system will automatically initiate the equalization charge during the Grid Connect Load state every 7-30 days based on the Grid Batt Eq Chg days value. If an equalization charge is required, the system will initiate a battery wake-up, perform the 4-hour charge, and then put the battery pack back into sleep mode. If a charge is not required, the system will put the battery into sleep mode after 15 minutes in the Grid Connect Load state. As set by the factory, charging is allowed any time of the day. Days or times should be reduced to prevent charging from occurring during peak demand times. A minimum of one 4-hour window during microturbine operating hours is required to maintain battery life. NOTE Once an equalization charge has started, it will complete regardless of the day and hour of the permission set-up. 410066 Rev C (June 2009) 5-2 Capstone reserves the right to change or modify, without notice, the design, specifications, and/or contents of this document without incurring any obligation either with respect to equipment previously sold or in the process of construction.
