📊 Load Profile

kW constant

Daily demand: 2,400 kWh

⛽ Generator

Capacity: 100 kW (2× peak for 50% loading)

Baseline SFC: 0.085 gal/kWh (at 50% loading)

Optimal SFC: 0.065 gal/kWh (75% w/ BESS sponge)

DC Rating: 242 kW

AC Output: 198 kW

Daily Production: 992 kWh

121 kW DC → 99 kW AC per unit (PR 0.82)

units

Capacity: 1,042 kWh

Power Rating: 240 kW

Round-trip Efficiency: 90%

1,042 kWh usable / 240 kW charge-discharge per unit

Daily Demand ? Average daily energy consumption by the site load (kWh/day)

--

Solar to Load ? Energy from solar that reached the load (direct + via BESS after 90% round-trip efficiency)

--

Fuel Saved ? Fuel savings vs running genset only. 100% = fully solar powered, 0% = genset only

--

Genset Hours ? Average hours per day the generator runs. Lower = better for noise, maintenance, and emissions

Battery SOC Trend (Mission)

Starting at 50%, showing daily range and end-of-day state

Energy Balance (Daily Average) ? Average daily energy flows across the simulation period. Shows where energy comes from and where it goes.

Direct to Load ? Energy delivered directly to load without passing through BESS (no efficiency loss)

Solar Direct -- kWh
Generator Direct -- kWh

Via BESS to Load ? Energy that went through BESS before reaching load. Subject to 90% round-trip efficiency (10% loss) (90% RTE)

Solar via BESS -- kWh
Generator via BESS -- kWh
Total to Load -- kWh

BESS Charging ? Energy charged into BESS from each source. Tracked separately for source attribution on discharge.

From Solar -- kWh
From Generator -- kWh
Total Charged -- kWh

Losses & Waste

BESS RTE Loss ? Energy lost to heat during BESS charge/discharge cycle. 10% of energy stored is lost (90% round-trip efficiency). -- kWh
Solar Curtailed ? Solar energy wasted because BESS was full and load was met. Indicates potential for more storage or load. -- kWh
Sponge Overflow ? Generator energy that BESS couldn't absorb (either full or at max charge rate). Occurs when genset runs at optimal 75% loading but excess exceeds BESS capacity. -- kWh

Fuel Consumption ? Daily fuel use based on generator loading and SFC curve. Baseline assumes genset runs 24/7 at load level. (per day avg)

Baseline (genset only) -- gal
With HoloGrid -- gal
Daily Savings --%

Generator Loading ? Average % of rated capacity when running. Higher loading = better fuel efficiency. Optimal is ~75%.

Baseline (always on) --%
HoloGrid (when running) --%

Higher loading = better fuel efficiency (optimal ~75%)
