Auxiliary DC Control Power System Design for Substations
Auxiliary DC Control Power System Design for Substations Michael J. Thompson Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. David Wilson McLaren, Inc. Presented at the 61st Annual Georgia Tech Protective Relaying Conference Atlanta, Georgia May 2–4, 2007 Originally presented at the 60th Annual Conference for Protective Relay Engineers, March 2007 1 Auxiliary DC Control Power System Design for Substations Michael J. Thompson, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. David Wilson, McLaren, Inc. Abstract—The most critical component of a protection, con- II. BATTERY SYSTEMS trol, and monitoring system is the auxiliary dc control power system. Failure of the dc control power can render fault detection A. Battery Sizing Requirements devices unable to detect faults, breakers unable to trip for faults, Under normal operation, the battery charger supplies dc local and remote indication to become inoperable, etc. The auxil- power to recover the battery voltage after a discharge and to iary dc control power system consists of the battery, battery maintain the float voltage while supporting any self-discharge charger, distribution system, switching and protective devices, and any monitoring equipment.

In fact, battery failure is a leading cause of load loss. Knowing costly downtime, and save time how to maintain and manage your and money. UPS batteries will extend their life and save you time and potential trouble in the future. Improvements in battery technology have been evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Capabilities such as advanced charging regimens, software management for accurate remaining life information and firmware adding intelligence to batteries have reduced, but not eliminated, the risks inherent in depending on any battery. As a result, it’s prudent, if not essential, to take a close look at what may be increasing your risk of unexpected load loss from a failing UPS battery. After all, even large installations with many batteries are vulnerable to the failure of a single battery. 2 EATON The large UPS battery handbook Eaton.com/UPSbatteries Table of Contents Table Table of contents UPS battery overview ................................. 3 VRLA ........................................... 3 Lithium-ion ....................................... 3 Other common causes of UPS failure .................. 3 VLA/flooded-cell ................................... 4 Battery arrangement and power ...................... 4 Battery facts .......................................... 5 Four factors that affect -
Battery Room Ventilation and Safety
Battery Room Ventilation and Safety Course No: M05-021 Credit: 5 PDH A. Bhatia Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] Battery Room Ventilation and Safety BATTERY ROOM VENTILATION AND SAFETY It is common knowledge that lead-acid batteries release hydrogen gas that can be potentially explosive. The battery rooms must be adequately ventilated to prohibit the build-up of hydrogen gas. During normal operations, off gassing of the batteries is relatively small. However, the concern is elevated during times of heavy recharge or the batteries, which occur immediately following a rapid and deep discharge of the battery. Often the HVAC designers underestimate the worst case for dangerous hydrogen accumulation, and often display reassuring calculations proving that no danger really exists. But dismissing such a critical safety issue is not a safe or responsible way to deal with it. Instead, we should be prepared to face the likely possibility of hydrogen build up, clearly identify the conditions when the risk is highest, and design systems that protect us from explosive levels in a fail-safe way. This course describes the hazards associated with batteries and highlights those safety features that must be taken into consideration when designing, constructing and fitting out a battery room. It provides the HVAC designer the information related to cost effective ventilation. The course is only for reference and anyone using this course should rely on state and local codes that may apply. Advice on specific ventilation rates required must be sought from the battery suppliers. -
