Base station battery maintenance and testing

4 FAQs about Base station battery maintenance and testing

Why are batteries important in a substation?

Batteries are among the least expensive pieces of equipment in a substation, and they are the heart that keeps the protection and control system running. Despite this, they are often not maintained properly. NERC standards make battery maintenance mandatory and its requirements are more stringent than those for other equipment.

What is a battery monitoring system (BMS)?

Battery Monitoring Systems (BMS) provide an accurate and reliable indication of battery state-of-health through monitoring and analysis of battery voltage, temperature, and conductance.

How do I choose the Right Battery Monitoring System?

Implementing a reliable and effective BMS is a critical long-term cost saving investment for utility operators. However, choosing the right BMS requires significant effort for investigation, discussion, and evaluation. To identify the key requirements for effective battery monitoring to fit your business needs.

How do I define a PSMP for a battery system?

When defining a PSMP for the battery system, the activities listed in Table 1-4 are the minimum to be included but additional activities can be added according to the needs or conditions of the system. IEEE and NETA have recommendations for battery maintenance that can be used as a reference when adding maintenance activities for batteries.
