Capstone Turbine Corporation • 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA 91311 • USA Technical Reference: Stand Alone Operation–Capstone Models C30 and C65 3.5. Equalization Charge NOTE: Once an equalization charge has started, it will complete regardless of the day and hour of the permission set-up. 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 five hours. Equalization charging may be disallowed during certain hours of certain days of the week to prevent interference with dispatch schedules. See the Model C30 Electrical Technical Reference (410000) and Model C65 Electrical Technical Reference (410001) for step load capability. The Equalization Charge submenu is configurable for each day of the week. Selecting Disable disallows the entire day. Default equates to all days active. If a charge is allowed to occur, the First OK Hour and Last OK Hour are programmed using a 24-hour clock. Once an equalization charge commences, it will run to completion. Times should be configured with the understanding that an equalization charge can take up to five hours. 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. The default is that charging is allowed any time of the day. Days or times should be reduced to prevent charging from occurring during peak demand times. 3.5.1. Equalization Charge Settings Perform the following steps to program the allowable times for equalization charging during certain times of the week: • CRMS: From the microturbine control panel menu, select Settings > Battery Management, and toggle on the allowed days of the week. Then, select the first and last allowable hours for equalization charge.
