AbacusIEEE: History

Abacus IEEE has several ancestors, stemming from the late 1990 years These versions share several characteristic properties Samba, Blanca and Ibis used by many battery customers worldwide One Battery Manufacturer only Strict IEEE 485 Calculation (Lead-acid) Strict IEEE 1155 Calculation (NiCd) Samba Curves 1997 Blanca IEEE Sizing 1998 Ibis IEEE Sizing 2002 Electrically Smallest Solution only Limited Export and Interoperability Users known to us include BENNING (Germany), E-ON (Germany), GUTOR (Switzerland) 2

AbacusIEEE: Evolution

Abacus IEEE has evolved to a techno and commercial tool during the last decade There are several editions, both manufacturer dependent and independent Abacus IEEE implements many extensions and has many new features Unlimited number of Manufacturers All possibly usable Batteries calculated Compare Results for different Manufacturers Calculation Extensions to IEEE 485 and 1115 Output Documents both technical and commercial BENNING Edition 2008 HBL Edition 2011 2011 FAAM Edition 2010 FIAMM Edition Output Documents in arbitrary languages PANASONIC Edition 2012 Link to Rack and Cabinet sizing software Output Documents exportable as HTML, PDF, DOC, E-Mail New Users (partly early test stage) include AEGPS, AMETEK, NORTHSTAR, YUASA 3

AbacusIEEE: Editions

Abacus IEEE is available in two main editions Single Edition is for Battery Manufacturers and their Clients Premium Edition is for OEMs and Battery Traders One Battery Manufacturer only Files and Exports interchangeable Unlimited number of Manufacturers Usually Open Redistribute License Abacus IEEE Single Edition est. 1998/2010 Abacus IEEE Premium Edition est. 2008/2014 Usually Open Company License Find all Results for Distribute Manufacturer Cheap Upgrade from Single to Premium is possible Compare Results for different Manufacturers 4

AbacusIEEE: Distributions

Abacus IEEE is available in two main distributions abacus 5 is for big companies with very many users and needs installation abacus4u is for smaller companies with fewer users and needs no installation Installed on every User‘s Computer Company-wide License required Files and Exports interchangeable

abacus 5

Setup Edition est. 2014

abacus4u

Online Edition est. 2008/2014 Running on the PiSoftware Server Cheap individual Subscription model Updates for Software and Databases needed abacus 5 Single Edition can be individually updated to abacus4u Premium Edition Software and Databases always up-to-date 5

AbacusIEEE: User Interface design

Language selection Database tools Presentation of results very variable Multiple Documents simultaneously Font, font size and font style 6

AbacusIEEE: Sizing Wizard, Battery

Permanent instruction Clear orientation Filter for Battery type Elektrode type Life time Ventilation Application Select database (e.g. manufacturer) Select one or more battery types Additional settings 7

AbacusIEEE: Sizing Wizard, Cells

IEEE-Mode: ONE number of cells Minimum system voltage leads to Final voltage per cell Maximum system voltage leads to IEEE-ideal number of cells 8

AbacusIEEE: Sizing Wizard, Cells

Cell-Mode: Cells range given Minimum system voltage or Final voltage per cell given Number of cells variegated automatically Final voltage per cell or minimum system voltage will be calculated 9

AbacusIEEE: Sizing Wizard, Cells

Voltage-Mode: Voltages given Minimum system voltage or Final voltage per cell given Number of cells variegated.

Final voltage per cell or minimum system voltage will be calculated Maximum system voltage and minimum number of cells given 10

AbacusIEEE: Sizing Wizard, Load

IEEE Load types Power loads with KtP und RtP Input with power factor, efficicieny and apparent power Comfortable Load input in table IEEE Random Load Load profile sortable 11

AbacusIEEE: Sizing Wizard, Custom

Ambient temperatures Mix blocks with various cell numbers Additional parameters: Aging and Design Custom sizing: Range of Parallel strings Custom sizing: Tolerance and State of Charge 12

AbacusIEEE: Sizing Wizard, Project

Project data Additional data 13

AbacusIEEE: IEEE Worksheet (HTML)

Project data Header Load profile Normed calculation Random Load Recommended Battery 14

AbacusIEEE: Report (HTML)

Graphical load profile Battery picture Additional data Header Recommended Battery 15

AbacusIEEE: Calculation control

Progress indicator Remaining time Progress Calculations Success, i.e. usable batteries Failures, i.e. unsuitable batteries Cancel button Configurable summary 16

AbacusIEEE: Result list

Sorting, e.g.

Price or Workload Results freely groupable Multiple grouping Columns, hideable Synchronizing with CellView Sorting within groups Selection of preferred result 17

AbacusIEEE: CellView

Additional freely configurable View of all Cellytypes for all manufacturers/databases Synchronizing with ResultList Sortable, groupable, exportable 18

AbacusIEEE: Exporting

Result Data for own further processing Grouped and sorted result list for further work, e.g. in calculation worksheet ABACUS result as HTML, PDF and MS Word File Grouped and sorted CellView list for further analysis, e.g. in calculation worksheet Export to custom database Launch Rack & Cabinet sizing software 19

AbacusIEEE: Filtering

Top Filter to hide uninteresting results Show all suitable Batteries and include their commercial data Show all suitable Batteries but hide their commercial data Show best Ten, best 100 or All results Show smallest suitable Battery for every Plate type and include Price Show smallest suitable Battery for every Plate type and hide Price Show only cheapest suitable Battery for every Plate type Show smallest suitable Battery for every Plate type and include all bigger Batteries which are not more expensive… 20

AbacusIEEE: Quick Sizing

Battery filter ONE input dialogue for all typical input parameters System voltages Load Type and Calculation mode Preselection of manufacturers and battery types Load profile 21
