Off-grid hybrid system with battery storage

Dear all

I want to run a system consists of PV-wind energy source with a battery storage so that constant load should be met 24/7 with a backup for 2 days. Can you guide me to run such system for a specific load with off-grid.

Thank you

Hi Mohammed,

SAM is not designed to model off-grid systems, so you will have to design your system to minimize grid usage. You can model a wind-PV-battery system with either the PVWatts Wind Battery or Photovoltaic Wind Battery with the Third Party / Host Developer financial model.

For additional comments on modeling off-grid systems, see  sam.nrel.gov/forum/forum-general/2960-off-grid-system.html#8075 .

Best regards,
Paul.
