System input parameters.

In this chapter book, vented lead-acid battery banks only are considered. This kind of battery cells are often selected for large energy storage banks due the low cost, low maintenance, and high cycle stability. Table 6 shows the input data required by the battery bank. The battery bank charge and discharge efficiency and the self-discharge ratio is taken from [24]. The maximum depth of discharge is set in 0.5 since the battery bank can accomplish 3000 cycles during its life service
