How does Alpha calculate a battery's figures?
Alpha reads the state of charge and the BMS state of health from the battery; it calculates efficiency, cycles, C-rate and availability itself from the counters and readings. A day that was not read in full or not reliably does not count in the efficiency.
Why it matters
Efficiency, state of health and availability are the figures a battery warranty is judged on. An error in a counter must not give a day with impossible figures.
How to do it
- Open Assets and pick the site with the battery. Open in Alpha
- The Battery tab shows the State of charge, the Round-trip efficiency, the Availability per PCS, the Data quality, the cycles and C-rate, the Capacity tests and the SoH estimate (indicative).
- The Analytics tab shows Efficiency, Efficiency at grid connection, Cycles and Availability over the chosen period.
