INRE 15030 - Batteries and Charge Controllers 0.33 CR
If a PV system is to be installed without any connection to the grid, the excess energy produced during the day must be stored for use at night time or on cloudy days. Although many different storage methods are being developed, the only viable manner to store energy in a PV system is batteries. The batteries utilized in PV systems are similar to the battery in the family car but there are significant differences in construction and use of these specialized batteries. In this module, students will learn how to properly connect and maintain batteries for long and efficient life.
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Select proper photovoltaic system components based on their characteristics.
- Understand the process of converting sunlight to direct current and alternating current
- Define the benefits of dc current and ac current in different situations
- Examine different photovoltaic systems and when one may have an advantage over another.
