6 FAQs about [Power plant battery inspection and maintenance]

Do you need a custom maintenance procedure for a battery?

While the IEEE Standards reflect the ideal level of maintenance, Eagle Eye recognizes that battery users may have more stringent or less strict requirements and these can be accommodated and if necessary, a custom maintenance procedure can be written.

How often should a battery be inspected?

Measure the electrolyte temperature of 10% or more of the battery cells. At least once per year, the quarterly inspection will be augmented as follows: In the case of a lead-antimony battery, measure and record specific gravity and electrolyte temperature of all cells.

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.

Why do you need a battery maintenance program?

A properly implemented maintenance program will aid in prolonging battery life, prevent avoidable battery failures, reduce premature battery replacement, ensure that the battery systems is charged properly at full capacity and deliver it the stored energy to the load when required.

What is important activity in battery maintenance?

important activity in battery maintenance for VLA, V performance or modified performance capacity test of the entire battery bank All functional entities that fall under the facilities requirements of PRC‐005‐ 2 will be required to adopt

How do you test a lead-antimony battery?

In the case of a lead-antimony battery, measure and record the specific gravity of 10% of the cells and float charging current. For chemistries other than lead-antimony and where float current is not used to monitor the state of charge, measure and record the specific gravity 10% or more of the battery cells.
