hr method might be more appropriate to use.
12.2 Battery sizing for Lead-acid and Nickel Cadmium batteries shall be in accordance
with SAES-P-103 and 17-SAMSS-511. Sizing methods in SAES-P-103 and 17-
SAMSS-511 are mainly based on IEEE 1013 “IEEE Recommended Practice for
Sizing Lead-Acid Batteries for Photovoltaic (PV) Systems”, IEEE 1562 “IEEE
Guide for Array and Battery Sizing in Standalone Photovoltaic (PV) Systems”,

30 April 2018 New Saudi Aramco Engineering Standard

Attachment 1 – Example of Solar Photovoltaic System Sizing Calculations
This example is to illustrate the simple method of sizing a small scale off-grid PV
utilizing PWM charge controller. This example is for critical continuous DC load
with no backup generators.
Assume: 5 A continuous load operating at 24 VDC. Use 192 W, 24 VDC solar
modules. The solar modules current rating is 8 A. Use lead acid batteries 2V/cell
batteries as per standard.
Commentary Note:
This example is for small size DC off-grid PV system. Larger systems and systems
having AC loads might use specialized software and methods for sizing.
Battery sizing for a combination of continuous loads, non-continuous loads and/or
momentary loads shall comply with battery sizing worksheets of IEEE 485 for lead
acid batteries and IEEE 1115 for Nicad batteries, or the equivalent IEC standards as
applicable.
Battery Sizing:
Reference Equation (1) of this standard:
Ah @ CBT = L x BT x TC x AF x DF
= 5.0 A x 120 hours x 1.0 x 1.25 x 1.1
= 825 Ah at 120 hour discharge rate
Convert Ah @ CBT to: Ah @ C8/C10 for lead acid; @ C5 for Ni-Cd; use result in sizing
825Ah @ C120  550Ah @ C10 (Based on manufacturer battery data sheet)
No. of Battery Cells (type lead-acid) = 12
Photovoltaic Array Sizing:
Daily Peak Hours = 5 hours/day
Load Current = 5A
Total Daily Power = 5 A x 24 hours = 120 Ah
Adjusted Daily Power = Total Daily Power x Aging x Dust x Future
= 120 Ah X 1.1 X 1.2 X 1.1 = 174.24 Ah
Most of this daily load will be fed from the batteries, so consider BIF:
Adjusted Daily Power with BIF = 174.24 Ah * 1.15 = 200.38 Ah
Recharge Time when battery
fully depleted = 30 days to 95% Ah capacity
Recharge Hours = 5 hours/day x 30 days = 150 hours
Battery Ampere-hours with BIF = (Battery Ah x BIF) = 550 Ah * 1.15 = 632.5 Ah
Battery recharging AH/Day
when battery depleted = 632.5Ah/30 days = 21.08 Ah/Day

Daily total required AH = Adjusted Daily Power with BIF + Battery recharge
Ah/Day when battery depleted
= 200.38 Ah + 21.08 Ah
= 221.46 Ah
Peak PV Module Output = 8A
Daily Peak Module Output = 8 A x 5 hours/day = 40 Ah/day
No. of Parallel Modules = Daily total AH ÷ Daily Peak Module Output
= 221.46 Ah/Day ÷ 40 Ah/Day = 5.53 Parallel
Modules (Use 6 Parallel Modules)
Charge Controller Sizing:
The charge controller shall be sized per maximum array current plus 10% design margin
6 modules selected will produce = 6 * 8A = 48 Ampere
Margin 10% = 48 A * 1.1 = 52.8 A
Select a 60 A Charge Controller
