This guide contains a tutorial on battery technologies, battery charging characteristics, and a laboratory test procedure to evaluate charge parameters and battery performance in stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems. The information on battery designs helps the designer to make appropriate battery decisions for these systems. The guide discusses PV system parameters and operating conditions. Charging parameters related to PV systems are also suggested to help in the selection of appropriate set points. Finally, the guide provides a performance test to validate the battery's operating set points and performance, including discussions on how to interpret test results. This guide is applicable to all stand-alone PV systems where PV is the only charging source. This guide does not include PV hybrid systems.

P1561
Guide for Optimizing the Utilization of Resources in Hybrid Power Systems
This guide provides guidance for optimizing the utilization of resources in hybrid power systems, taking into consideration system loads and the capacities of renewable-energy generators, dispatchable generators, and energy storage systems. It also provides guidance for selecting an appropriate energy storage technology for various system operating strategies.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
