Application, sizing, testing and performance of the photovoltaic battery subsystem at Natural Bridges National Monument, Utah
During the two years from 24 May 1978 to 7 June 1980, the battery subsystem for the 100-kW peak photovoltaic power system for Natural Bridges National Monument was designed, modified, tested, installed, retested and again modified. The subsystem includes 224 lead-acid (with calcium alloy) cells, hydrogen recombiners, an air-lift pump system and electrolyte level indicators. Problems and solutions related to these subsystem components are discussed. Further details concerning the battery selection, design, tests and performance throughout the battery's life are also included.
