Stationary batteries on a rack (courtesy of Power Battery) This article looks at the sizing of batteries for stationary applications (i.e. They don't move). Batteries are used in many applications such as AC and DC uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, solar power systems, telecommunications, emergency lighting, etc. Whatever the application, batteries are seen as a mature, proven technology for storing electrical energy. In addition to storage, batteries are also used as a means for providing voltage support for weak power s ystem s (e.g. At the end of small, long tra nsmiss ion line s).

The calculation is based on a mixture of normal industry practice and technical standards 'Recommended Practice for Sizing Lead-Acid Batteries for Stationary Applications' and 'Recommended Practice for Sizing Nickel- Cadmium Batteries for Stationary Applications'. The calculation is based on the ampere-hour method for sizing battery capacity (rather than sizing by positive plates). The focus of this calculation is on standard lead-acid or nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries, so please consult specific supplier information for other types of batteries (e.g. Lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, etc). Note also that the design of the battery charger is beyond the scope of this calculation. There are five main steps in this calculation: 1) Collect the loads that the battery needs to support 2) Construct a load profile and calculate the design energy (VAh) 3) Select the battery type and determine the characteristics of the cell 4) Select the number of battery cells to be connected in series 5) Calculate the required Ampere-hour (Ah) capacity of the battery.
