WORKSHEET‐1
BASIS & ASSUMPTIONS
1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this calculation is 
a) To establish battery load cycle for 110V DC Battery.
b) To determine the number of cells for 110V DC Battery.
  c) To determine the Ampere ‐ Hour rating of 110V DC Battery.
d) To determine the rating of Battery Charger.

2.0 DESIGN BASIS & ASSUMPTIONS

2 1 The sizing of Battery has been done on the basis of IEEE 
2.1 The sizing of Battery has been done on the basis of IEEE ‐ 485 :1997
485 :1997

2.2 The sizing of Battery Charger has been done on the basis of IEEE ‐ 946 : 1995.

2.3 110V DC Battery Bank shall be comprised of a bank of 2.0V rated Lead acid plante type battery.
(Reference: Technical Specification of Battery ,Battery Charger & DC Distribution Board Volume ‐ IV of V Page‐55 of 272 Section

2.4 110 V Lead acid plante type Battery Bank and Float cum Boost Charger has been considered for catering Control, Protection &
Indication Load of  6.6 KV Switchboard of SS1, ACBs of PMCC Panel & other miscllenous loads.

2.5 The End Cell Voltage of each Battery Cell is 1.85 Volts.
(End Cell Voltage ( ECV ) is taken as 1.85V as per Design Criteria of Technical Specification  Volume IV of V, Clause ‐ 2.3.2, Pg 56 
of 272)
2.6 Battery is sized for a back up duration of 10 hour for Load Duty Cycle.
(Reference: Since nothing has been specified in Technical Specification, we have assumed 1hour back up duration for Load duty 
Cycle ).

2.7 DC Output Voltage shall be adjustable between +10% & ‐10% of Nominal rated voltage.

(Reference: Technical Specification of DC System, Volume ‐ IV of V, Clause ‐ 2.3.3.2.5,ii , Page ‐ 61 of 272).

2.8 An Ageing Factor of 1.25 has been considered.

2.9 A nominal Design Margin of 10% has been considered for standard over sizing of battery to allow for unforseen operating
conditions of the battery due to improper maintenance, recent discharge or ambient temperature lower than the anticipated
or both.
(Reference: as per IEEE ‐ 485 :1997, Clause‐6.2.2)

2.10 Battery is designed to be operated at a temprature range of 19 deg C to 33 deg C.However, design operating temprature has
been considered as 27 deg C.
(Reference: Technical Specification of DC System, Volume ‐ IV of V, Clause ‐ 2.3.3.1.2, Page ‐ 59 of 272).

2.11 Temperature Correction Factor has been taken as 1.25 at 8 deg C as per IEEE 485 :1997

2.12 Value of Capacity factor (KT) at 1min & 600min has been obtained from Manufacturer's Catalogue as attached herewith in
"Reference Catalogue" worksheet. Further, the value of Capacity Factor (KT) at 588min & 599min are derived from the above
two terminal values by the method of extrapolation. 

2.12 Float Charge Voltage is 2.25 Volts per Cell .( As per Manufacturer's Catalogue ) we have consider one of the mfg. details for
calculatuion ,after finalisation we will revsied it submit again

CALCULATION FOR QUANTITY OF CELLS

Nominal Voltage Per Cell = 2.0 Volts DC


Nominal Battery Bank Voltage = 110 Volts DC
Float Voltage Per Cell = 2.25 Volts DC
End Cell Voltage = 1.85 Volts DC
Allowable System Voltage  = 110 VDC, + 10% to ‐ 15%
= 121.00 VDC  to 93.50 VDC

Maximum No. of Cells  = Maximum System Voltage / Float Charging Voltage

= 121.00 / 2.25

= 53.78 Cells

Minimum No. of Cells  = Minimum System Voltage / End Cell Voltage

= 93.50 / 1.85

= 50.54 cells

No. of Cells selected = 55

Maximum Battery Voltage considering 55 cells and float voltage of 2.25 Volts = 123.75 VDC

Minimum Battery Voltage considering 55 cells and End Cell Voltage of 1.85 Volts  = 101.75 VDC

Permissible End Cell Voltage = (90% of 110V) / (Max No. of Cells) = 1.84 VDC ≈ Selected ECV of each Cell

Calculated ,No. of Cells in Battery Bank 53.78 Nos.
