How To Properly Size The EBOSS
A simplified guide to collecting load data and determining whether an application is optimal for hybrid power
1. Know the Application
Start by understanding what equipment the EBOSS will support.
Key questions:
-
What is being powered?
-
Are there motor starts or high inrush loads?
-
How long does the equipment run each day?
2. Get the Load Data
To size the EBOSS correctly, you need accurate load information.
You can get this from:
-
The customer (peak load, continuous load, voltage), or
-
A load profile created by the ANA Applications Team
3. Identify Peak and Continuous Loads
These two values determine the proper EBOSS model:
-
Peak Load (kW): Short bursts of high demand
-
Continuous Load (kW): Average running load
Use these numbers with the EBOSS sizing table.
4. Decide if the Application Is “Optimal” or “Fringe”
Optimal Application
The EBOSS will work extremely well when:
-
Continuous load is low
-
Peak loads are short
-
The generator is oversized
-
Fuel savings is a primary goal
Fringe Application
The EBOSS may not provide full benefit when:
-
Continuous load is too high
-
The generator must run constantly
-
Battery cycles don’t match the load profile
5. Quick Example
-
Water pump
-
100 kW generator
-
80 kW peak for 3 seconds
-
22 kW continuous load
-
Runs 24/7
This is an optimal EBOSS application because the continuous load is low and the peak is short.
