Is your Stand-Alone Power System Sized for Compliance & Reliability?
By: Wayne Foster, Head of Technical & Innnovation, Valen Utilities As electrical engineers, we often face the critical task of designing standalone power systems (SAPS) that comply with AS/NZS 3000 standards while ensuring reliable, safe, and efficient operation. One key aspect of this process is sizing the system to meet the connection service capacity requirements—particularly […]
Understanding the Impact of Parasitic Loads in Stand-alone Power Systems (SAPS)
As Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs) increasingly explore transitioning fringe-of-grid customers to Stand-alone Power Systems (SAPS) to reduce costs and improve reliability, it’s critical to address a key factor that can significantly impact system performance: parasitic loads. These often-overlooked energy demands, combined with inefficient component choices, can undermine the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of SAPS. Here’s […]
The Difference between useable and nameplate capacity in ESS
When it comes to battery energy storage systems, understanding the difference between nameplate capacity and usable capacity is essential for optimizing performance.
