WHY BATTERY MONITORING
SYETEM MATTERS

  • For uninterrupted operation and business continuity, a reliable power backup system is crucial.
  • During grid failure, batteries provide DC or converted AC backup power to safeguard sensitive loads, regulate voltage and prevent any power interruption.
  • This ensures seamless operation of businesses 24/7 and is essential for any business that values continuity and reliability.
  • Ensure that the battery monitoring system is equipped with real-time monitoring capabilities for critical battery parameters and the ability to balance cell voltages.
  • This will help guarantee that the battery system possesses sufficient power capacity to sustain your critical loads.
  • It is essential to emphasize the need for the battery monitoring system to have a cell voltage balancing function.
  • To prevent losses and downtime due to grid failures, businesses must establish contingency plans.
  • This can boost profits and growth by avoiding unnecessary costs and disruptions.
  • A thorough strategy should anticipate risks and offer preventative solutions.
  • Prioritizing prevention allows for efficient and productive operations, ensuring business success.
  • Elevate your team’s proficiency in data analysis to a professional standard.

What are electrochemical batteries?

Electrochemical batteries, often simply referred to as batteries, are devices that store electrical energy in a chemical form and release it as electric current when needed. These devices are based on electrochemical reactions that occur between two or more materials, typically involving a cathode and an anode separated by an electrolyte. Here’s a basic explanation of how electrochemical batteries work:

Anode: The anode is the negative terminal of the battery. It releases electrons into the circuit during the discharge process. Common anode materials include zinc, lithium, and lead.
Cathode: The cathode is the positive terminal of the battery. It receives electrons from the external circuit during discharge. Cathode materials vary depending on the type of battery and can include materials like manganese dioxide, cobalt oxide, and sulfur.
Electrolyte : The electrolyte is a material that allows ions to move between the anode and cathode while blocking the flow of electrons. It can be in the form of a liquid, gel, or solid, depending on the battery type. Common electrolytes include lithium salt in lithium-ion batteries and sulfuric acid in lead-acid batteries.

The basic principle of operation involves the following steps:
During charging, an external voltage (from a charger or power source) is applied to the battery. This causes a chemical reaction at the electrodes:
– At the anode, electrons are stripped from the anode material and released into the external circuit.
– At the cathode, electrons are accepted and stored by the cathode material.

The chemical reactions at the anode and cathode result in the accumulation of electric potential energy within the battery.
During discharging (when the battery is in use), the stored energy is released as electrons flow from the anode to the cathode through the external circuit. This flow of electrons is what we use to power electronic devices or perform work.

There are various types of electrochemical batteries, each with its own specific chemistry and characteristics. Common examples include:

1. Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries: Known for their high energy density and use in a wide range of applications, including smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles.
2. Lead-acid batteries: Frequently used in automotive applications, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and backup power systems.
3. Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries: Historically used in portable electronics but now less common due to environmental concerns and the rise of newer technologies.
4. Alkaline batteries: Widely used in consumer devices like remote controls and flashlights.
5. Lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries: Commonly used in drones, radio-controlled vehicles, and other devices where flexibility in battery shape is beneficial.
6. Flow batteries: Used in large-scale energy storage applications and renewable energy integration.
The choice of battery type depends on the specific application, desired energy capacity, and other factors such as cost and environmental considerations.

  • Proper monitoring of battery parameters is crucial to optimize performance and prevent damage.
  • Track critical variables like temperature, internal resistance, state of charge, state of health and voltage levels to extend battery life.
  • Regular evaluation and prompt action can save time and costs and improve reliability.

WHY VOLTAGE CELL BALANCING MATTERS?

Voltage cell balancing in lead-acid batteries can help improve the overall performance and extend the battery life to some extent. Lead-acid batteries are commonly used in various applications, including automotive, backup power systems, and renewable energy storage. These batteries consist of multiple cells, and voltage cell balancing aims to ensure that each cell operates at a similar voltage level.

Here’s how voltage cell balancing can contribute to prolonging the life of lead-acid batteries:

Voltage cell balancing can help prevent individual cells from being overcharged or over-discharged. Overcharging can lead to the generation of excessive heat and the production of harmful gases, which can damage the battery. Over-discharging can cause irreversible damage to the cells.

When voltage cell balancing is in place, it ensures that no single cell is subject to significantly higher stress than others. This leads to a more uniform wear and tear on all cells, which can extend the battery’s overall life.

Voltage cell balancing helps maintain consistent capacity and performance across all cells, ensuring that the battery can deliver its rated capacity over its service life.

One of the common causes of lead-acid battery failure is sulfation, which occurs when lead sulfate crystals form on the battery plates. Balancing cell voltages can help prevent or reduce the formation of sulfation, preserving the battery’s capacity and performance.

Balanced cells can charge and discharge more efficiently. When cells are at similar voltage levels, energy transfer within the battery is more efficient, resulting in less energy loss as heat and longer cycle life.
