🔋 battery-simulator-energy - Explore Battery Scenarios Without Hardware

🚀 Getting Started

Welcome to battery-simulator-energy, a browser-based energy-modeling workspace for battery simulation. This application helps you explore load response, arbitrage value, backup duration, and solar-aware dispatch using configurable scenarios. You don't need any programming knowledge to use it.

System Requirements

  • A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari)
  • Internet connection for the initial download
  • Windows computer (version 10 or 11)

📥 Download & Install

Visit this link to download the application:

DOWNLOAD NOW - battery-simulator-energy

The download is a self-contained HTML file that runs entirely in your browser. No installation required.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Click the download link above
  2. Save the file to a folder on your Windows computer (e.g., Desktop or Documents)
  3. Double-click the downloaded file (it should open in your default web browser)
  4. If prompted, select "Open with" and choose your preferred browser

🎯 Features

Core Capabilities

  • Load Response Modeling: Simulate how batteries respond to different power demands
  • Arbitrage Value Analysis: Discover optimal times to charge and discharge based on energy prices
  • Backup Duration Estimation: Calculate how long a battery can power your home during outages
  • Solar-Aware Dispatch: Integrate solar panel output for smarter battery management

Interactive Controls

  • Adjust battery capacity from 5 kWh to 100 kWh
  • Set power rating (kW) for charging/discharging
  • Configure seasonal and daily usage patterns
  • Modify energy price schedules (flat or time-of-use rates)
  • Toggle solar integration on/off

📊 How It Works

The simulation models a battery system connected to your home and optionally solar panels. You define scenarios and the application calculates key metrics:

  1. Input Parameters: Enter your battery size, power limits, and usage habits
  2. Run Simulation: Click "Simulate" to process your settings
  3. View Results: See charts and reports for load coverage, savings, and backup time
  4. Compare Scenarios: Save different configurations to find the best setup

💡 Example Scenario

Scenario: You have a 10 kWh battery, 5 kW inverter, and want to reduce peak-time electricity costs.

  • Set battery size to 10 kWh
  • Set power rating to 5 kW
  • Enable time-of-use pricing (peak: 4 PM - 9 PM)
  • Run simulation → See potential monthly savings of $45-60

🔧 Troubleshooting

File Doesn't Open

  • Right-click the downloaded file and select "Open with"
  • Choose your web browser from the list
  • Ensure JavaScript is enabled in browser settings

Charts Not Displaying

  • Refresh the page (F5)
  • Check your browser is updated to latest version
  • Disable ad-blockers temporarily

Slow Performance

  • Close other browser tabs
  • Reduce number of saved scenarios
  • Restart your browser

📈 Visual Output

The simulator generates:

  • Line charts for battery state of charge over time
  • Bar graphs for energy costs and savings
  • Pie charts for load distribution
  • Summary tables with key metrics

🛡️ Privacy & Security

  • All data stays on your device
  • No information sent to external servers
  • No cookies or tracking
  • Fully open-source code (view on GitHub)
