4.22 Menu Items: Configuration- Temp Compensation Set
The
Configuration- Temp Compensation Set
page allows the user to configure temperature
compensation parameters for the battery charge profile. The configurable parameters include:
•
Used/Unused
dropdown:
Used
sets Temperature Compensation ON (recommended
whenever Battery Banks are used);
Unused
sets Temperature Compensation OFF.
•
mV/Cell multiplier
for Temp Compensation (
shown in Battery Manufacturer’s
datasheet).
•
# of Cells in -48V Battery String
= (24) for a typical VRLA string.
•
Minimum and Maximum Charge Temperatures
(shown in Battery Manufacturer’s
datasheet).
Figure 16c. Configuration- Temp Compensation Set page
The temperature-compensated Battery Charge Profile actively graphs the values and slope of the battery charge voltage
versus ambient temperature.
Temperature Compensation (Tcomp) assumptions:
•
Temperature Compensation equation uses
Tref
= +25
°
C for the reference temperature
•
Tcomp
formula includes a negative multiplier for the
mV/Cell multiplier
so the slope is negative. As battery
temperature decreases, charging voltage is increased and as battery temperature increases, charging voltage
decreases.
➢
Tcomp
formula:
[
-(
mV/Cell multiplier
) x (
°
C away from
Tref
) x (
# of Cells in Battery Bank)]
➢
Example (using a typical 48V lead-acid battery, parameters in Figure 16c, and +10
°
C Ambient):
At +10
°
C Ambient
→
[
-(
0.003
) x (-15) x (
24
)
]
= 1.08V
(In this example, temperature compensation increases the Battery Charge voltage by 1.08V at +10
°
C)
