How to implement battery monitoring in a deployable product?

Nov , 27 2021

Standalone ohmic battery monitoring systems designed for data center application are not suited for a genset environment. Although ohmic monitors work, they are expensive (estimated at $2,000 for a 24-volt system), time-consuming to install, and require trained personnel to interpret their data output. To achieve widespread adoption in the genset market any battery monitoring technology will need ...

NiCd versus Lead Acid Starter Batteries for Generator Systems

Dec , 10 2021

Apart from a few special applications that use mechanical cranking, such as spring starters, the greatest percentage of generator set systems utilize 12-volt or 24-volt starter motors. For prime power and standby applications, the two most commonly used battery types are lead acid or nickel cadmium (NiCd). This article discusses the differences between NiCd and Lead Acid starter batteries for gene...

How to do the SOC-OCV test for Lithium batteries?

Apr , 06 2022

OCV is very important for SOC estimation. It is a function of cell SOC and temperature. There are two methods to measure the OCV, namely coulomb titration and voltage relaxation. The former discharges and charges the cell with the same low current while measuring the terminal voltage. The OCV is defined as the average value of the charge and the discharge terminal voltage. The latter determines th...

Battery charging tutorial-Part 1

Apr , 18 2022

Current battery charging technology relies on microprocessors (computer chips) to recharge; using 3 stages (or 2 or 4 stages) regulated charging. These are the "smart chargers", and quality units generally are not found in discount stores. The three stages or steps in lead/acid battery charging are bulk, absorption, and float. Qualification or equalization is sometimes considered another stage. A ...

Battery charger options (part-3)

May , 16 2022

In this series of articles we will discuss the options you can have in your battery charger. You can check out these options for choosing your desired battery charger solution. Charge Dividers Our charge divider option adds series diodes to the output of our charger to isolate multiple banks of batteries. The battery banks, in effect, do not see each other, allowing each bank to be charged complet...

What are the soft costs of datacenter?

Jul , 22 2022

Data centers can’t afford to go dark. That’s why reliable critical power systems arecentral to their operation. Selecting and maintaining these systems comes at a price, but astronger understanding of “hard” and “soft” costs -- and what can be done to mitigate thelatter -- can protect the bottom line. Hard and soft costs vary from one operation to the next. In general, hard costs refer to the expe...

How to lower the soft cost of Data center

Aug , 01 2022

Outages are a major fear for data centers. And for a good reason. Unfortunately, many companies still roll the dice by purchasing critical power systems,assigning someone internally to keep tabs on the equipment, and simply hoping the system comes through when it needs to. (Spoiler: it often doesn’t.) Scarce resources, a lack of skilled personnel, and increased edge computing (and the scattered fa...

Power Factor and Harmonic Analysis in Single phase AC to DC converter

Aug , 15 2022

Most of the power conversion applications consist of an AC to DC conversion stage and this DC output is then used for further stages. An AC to DC converter is an integral part ofmost of the electronic equipment as most of these equipment are DC powered [1]. Generally to convert AC toDC a diode bridge rectifier is used. To reduce the ripple in the output voltage a suitable filter capacitor is used ...

Are lithium-ion batteries in energy storage systems reliable?

Dec , 05 2022

The most common type of battery used in energy storage systems is Lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries allow you to take electricity generated by the grid, solar panels, wind turbines, or any combination and store it for use when you need it most. However, not all lithium-ion batteries are the same when it comes to reliability and safety. Even though they are referred to generically as one...
