3.2 Operation
When the total output power of the photovoltaic and
wind generation is s ufficient to power the loads, it is
supplied to the loads, and surplus power is used to
charge the VRLA batteries. On the other hand, when
the total output power is insufficient to power the
loads during periods of no sunshine or wind, the
batteries back-up the required power of the load. If the
non-sunshine or non-wind period continues for
