SYSTEM SETUP AND OPERATION GUDIE FOR THE 1 kW HYBRID POWER SYSTEM (HPS)
PRELIMINARY DRAFT
System Runtime Scenarios
The System has 2600 Wh of storage and two (2) power sources, a 1 kW AC generator and 300 W
PV array.
For the System to function properly, the amount of power that is produced must
be equal to or greater than the amount of power that is consumed by the load
The power
produced will be a balance between what is supplied by the sun (PV) and the generator. The rate of
energy consumption may also vary.
The graphs below provide idealized, theoretical estimates of how the System will perform under
various scenarios at different loads. These graphs should not be viewed as an indication of exact
System performance.
Generator only
The first case demonstrates the 1 kW generator duty cycle in the HPS as a function of a series of
continuous loads. This case assumes no PV contribution.
