Utilization of a bimodal curve to describe mathematically the distribution function W/sub phi/ for the duration of operation of an electric storage battery is considered. The parameter W/sub phi/ characterizes the distribution of the time of continuous functioning of the apparatus controlling electric storage battery operation. This is important: 90 to 95% of the energy demand is furnished by a wind- or solar-power unit in combined operation with an electric storage battery. 2 figures.
