Pioneering the future of power testing and monitoring

BATTERY MONITORING

Cell voltage monitoring

The whole safety of the Power grid is closely dependent of substation  battery reliability and optimal performance. Cell voltage and individual temperature monitoring is crucial for the battery lifetime and power network security.  

Why perform battery monitoring?

  • Increase the reliability of the system
  • Prevent battery system failure /outages
  • Increase battery lifetime and reduce waste -faulty cell will be replaced on time before it degrades the whole battery
  • Reduce man hours while deep discharge testing – Cell voltage recording during deep discharge is included in the monitoring system and it works with all load unit manufacturers
  • Improve safety and prevent explosions in battery rooms                                                                                                                                        POWERVIEW BVM system has  highest accuracy on cell voltage measurement on the market , most advanced reporting and communication features . Software also includes most precise  cell voltages  monitoring and reporting according IEC  during battery string deep discharge 
  • It features long range wireless communication and comes in powerful web-based cloud software which analyzes all the electrical tests, other inspections such as visual and thermal and corona inspections and other types of monitoring for the particular element with most complementary risk assessment. The software is also available on a mobile phone with Android + IOS application. The software has most advanced permissions access and alarms management with notifications (SMS, email) and risk assessment.

Current monitoring

Ripple battery monitoring monitors the AC component of the current from the battery charger. It mainly indicates problems inside battery chargers which result in a few mili ampere AC current which dramatically shortens battery’s string lifetime thermal runway, and battery degradation prevention). The system monitors these currents, fits international standards recommendations and helps prolong batteries lifetime and environmental pollution by detecting these failures in the earliest stage.

It features long range wireless communication and comes in powerful web-based cloud software which analyzes all the electrical tests, other inspections such as visual and thermal and corona inspections and other types of monitoring for the particular element with most complementary risk assessment. The software is also available on a mobile phone with Android + IOS application. The software has most advanced permissions access and alarms management with notifications (SMS, email) and risk assessment.

 

Explosive gases monitoring

Cells degradation or failure results in extended Explosive gas generation in battery room. When hydrogen in generated to a higher level (when it is contained in 4% in the battery room air- it becomes explosive so the smallest spark can cause explosion. The BVM EX monitors this gas full to LEL limit and requires no maintenance and re-calibration in the whole lifetime.  

 

Batteries thermal monitoring

Individual cell temperature measurement eliminates premature cell aging and can regulate the battery charge voltage (within the given limit). If this is not regulated in time, the speed of chemical reactions in the cells increases and they are additionally heated. This is a catalytic process that results in cell sulfation and permanent damage. Part of the system are thermo-sensors that are installed on the negative electrode of all cells.
