Battery monitoring and maintenance guidelines

The time required to maintain the batteries in a typical small UPS battery cabinet, small telephone office, or power company substation, in accordance with IEEE standards, is at least 25 hours a year. Most of these hours can be saved by using a monitor, and the hours saved will pay for a top of the line battery monitor in two to four years.

6 FAQs about [Substation battery bank expires]

What is a substation battery system?

Why does a substation need a battery charger?

The battery is required to supply the DC electrical requirements of the substation, including SCADA, control, protection indication, communications and circuit breaker switching operations when there is no output from the battery charger. This may be due to a loss of AC supply to the substation or a fault in the battery charger.

How long does a battery monitor last?

How long does a flooded battery last?

The normal life of a good quality flooded battery is twenty years. VRLA product today has only about a seven-year life span, and these cells do not live long enough to die of normal positive grid corrosion. The most common problem for their early demise has been a drying out or loss of water in the electrolyte.

Where should batteries be located in a substation control room?

Batteries are to be accommodated in a cabinet within the substation control room - separate battery rooms are not required. Cells are to be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations regarding separation between cells to allow air-flow for cooling and for easier access for removal if necessary.

Can a flooded battery predict the end of life?

Both problems lead to large increases in internal resistance that can easily be detected. In fact, it is the authors’ belief that, due to the predictable decay of flooded cells, internal cell resistance measurements can be used to predict end of life. The normal life of a good quality flooded battery is twenty years.
