[RE-wrenches] real world example - fuel saving with battery bank

[Ron Young]

Thanks for the offer Chris & Dan, I'll contact you off list when I have more info. By load profile or pattern I assume you & Maverick are simply referring to the hourly energy use on a 24 hour basis - or weekly basis? I know that there is no one at the sites that can provide that but maybe I'll send them something like a TED or an Elite meter and get them to clip it on to their genset output for a week then record the data and send it back.

It will also tell you the duty cycle for the generator and the levelized cost of energy for each scenario. This should help you to identify the right combination of equipment and help close the deal.

They are looking for options for saving generator run-time using an inverter-charger/battery combo with the existing gensets. Does anyone have any real world examples of realized fuel savings in this type of scenario? They run generators 24/7 and a lot of the dusk to dawn energy requirement is well below the daytime needs. Appreciate any ideas or examples.
