Re: [Moved]Battery power and capacity calculation per hour
Hi,
0.6 MW is not a discharge rate. Perhaps you mean 0.6MW/hour? It doesn't mean anything as far as battery specifications go, it's a DISCHARGING specification. 10kwh is not a discharge rate, either; it's a measure of energy. Kw/h, maybe?
I see it completely different.
I'd say 0.6MW is a discharge rate.
MW/h, kW/h ... is power per time. It means the power changes with time. I don't know a useful application for such an unit.
Back to MW, kW, W....
Imagine you have an SMPS. Battery 12V, 15Ah.
And you have a load connected. The load - it may be a pump, a PC, lights, - will discharge the battery.
And the load is rated with power.
The more power the load draws, the faster the battery gets discharged.
The battery 12V x 15Ah gives 180Wh of energy.
Now connect a 10W load..
After one hour the battery energy is 180Wh - 10W x 1h = 170Wh, after another hour 160Wh, ...150Wh..and so on.
So I'd say 10W is a constant discharge rate.
It is energy / time. 10Wh per hour. Which is 10Wh/h ... "h" can be canceled and remaining is 10W
