What is a substation battery system?

The primary role of the substation battery system is to provide a source of energy that is independent of the primary ac supply, so that in the event of the loss of the primary supply the substation control systems that require energy to operate can still do so safely.

What are the different types of batteries used in industrial / substation applications?

In industrial or substation applications mainly three types of batteries are used namely: For UPS applications batteries are the most popular and hence are widely used. Hence, in this detailing, mainly emphasize has been put on these type of batteries. There are two types for vented or flooded lead acid batteries namely tubular and Plante.

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.

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.

What are the standards for battery installation & maintenance?

AS 2676 - Installation and maintenance of batteries in buildings. AS 3011 - Electrical installations - Secondary batteries installed in buildings. AS 4044 - Battery chargers for stationary batteries. ENA Doc 001-2008 National Electricity Network Safety Code.

What are the different types of batteries used in ups?

For UPS applications batteries are the most popular and hence are widely used. Hence, in this detailing, mainly emphasize has been put on these type of batteries. There are two types for vented or flooded lead acid batteries namely tubular and Plante. The difference between the two is the construction. For tubular battery normal life is 8-10 years.
