How to import Battery file to PVsyst?

[Nikoloz]

Hello

I need to make a design of standalone station, but in the list of batteries there is not my model what i need. I have the BTR file from producer but there are no such files with BTR extention in PVsys data files, there is only Battery.Fav file . How can I import file with Btr extention ???

PVsyst cannot obviously reference all batteries present on the market.

You should use a battery with similar characteristics as your battery model. I.e. similar in technology, voltage and capacity. 

You may also use a "universal"  battery, for which you explicitly define the voltage and capacity.

NB: the simulation result is not very sensitive to the exact capacity of your battery pack.

It can actually , after I added  BTR file to specific folder PVSyst/PVsyst7.0_Data/ComposPV/Batteries. and restarted PVsyst several times .. suddenly my Batteries appeared in the list

Yes, as soon as you put a component in your workspace, it will appear in the PVsyst lists.

In the lists, the components defined externally appear with a grey background.
