Genset failure to start: The big problem no one talks about

Nov , 22 2021

Failure to start is the most significant avoidable cause of diesel generator malfunction. Over 80% of failures to start are caused by battery problems. Genset customers invest significant amounts of money purchasing and maintaining generators. Yet the Achilles heel of these large, costly machines is a commodity product little changed since its invention in the late 1800s. Today most gensets do not...

Assuming zero manufacturing defects, what are the chief causes of battery failure for a generator start application?

Nov , 22 2021

Assuming zero manufacturing defects, there are three chief causes of battery failure: Failure to start is the most significant avoidable cause of diesel generator malfunction. Over 80% of failures to start are caused by battery problems. Genset customers invest significant amounts of money purchasing and maintaining generators. Yet the Achilles heel of these large, costly machines is a commodity p...

What type of Battery assessment is suited for GENSET applications?

Nov , 27 2021

Lead-acid battery monitoring technology has matured to the point where the IEEE issued a standard (IEEE 1491) in 2005 to describe the various battery health assessment methods. Most large data centers, for example, spend tens of thousands of dollars for battery monitoring equipment designed to predict whether their UPS batteries will work. Data centers with downtime costs of six figures per minute...

Why flooded SLI batteries in GENSET applications fail sooner and more suddenly than in vehicle applications?

Dec , 06 2021

Even though the batteries perform the identical job of delivering high-rates of current to crank internal combustion engines, the “use model” of batteries employed in gensets is different in one key respect from those employed in vehicles. Batteries used on gensets are charged around the clock, whereas vehicle batteries are charged only intermittently. Flooded SLI batteries used in genset applicat...

Why flooded SLI batteries in GENSET applications fail sooner and more suddenly than in vehicle applications?

Dec , 06 2021

Continuous float charging flooded SLI batteries accelerates the deterioration of polyethylene plate separators to a life shorter than that which battery designers intended. When subjected to continuous float charging, the dominant and earliest failure mode tends to be premature failure of the polyethylene separator. Separator failure typically results in short circuits that prevent the battery fro...

Suitability of competing charging solutions in Genset applications

Dec , 10 2021

Instead of polyethylene, AGM type SLI batteries typically employ separators made of fiberglass. Because fiberglass does not oxidize like organic polyethylene, float charging at the battery manufacturer’s recommended float voltage is not inherently harmful to AGM type SLI batteries. Therefore, the intermittent charging method discussed is unlikely to increase the life of AGM type batteries. The dif...

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...

Characteristics of Lead Acid and Nickel Cadmium Batteries for Generator starting application

Dec , 10 2021

The charger strips electrons from the cathode leaving it with a net positive charge and forces those electrons onto the anode giving it a negative charge. The energy pumped into the cell transforms the active chemicals back to their original state. The generator set industry primarily uses an automatic type battery charger for standby applications. The system designer selects the battery type on i...

3 Reasons to Choose Energy Storage over a Generator during Fire & Hurricane Season: Reason-3

Jan , 10 2022

Past 2 years will stand out in the history books as years that forced us to radically rethink (and adjust) the status quo. As we go into summer, the stability of our utility grid will be put to the test when many of us are spending most of our time at home. Fire season will begin shortly in different places, with utilities sending out messages about public safety power shutoffs. On the...

Relation between UPS and Generators

Jul , 18 2022

UPS and generators should be best friends, smoothly cooperating to improve site’s resiliency. Often this might not be the case, due to mutual misunderstandings and lack of information. This article is a comprehensive guide and essential knowledge base about UPS input performance and its impact on generators’ operation. The UPS point of view： In real operation, whenever a mains failure occurs, the ...

Effect of input capacitors between UPS and Generator

Jul , 18 2022

Input capacitors used for filtering purpose cause pure apparent power to flow between the supply and the UPS. Such power is referred to as leading or capacitive power. Gensets can manage limited amount of pure leading power, as it interferes with the excitation circuit in the AC generator, leading to voltage oscillations and genset’s shutdown. Safe operating area charts show the allowed gensets’ l...

How a UPS system works with a Generator

Sep , 19 2022

As weather extremes and storms increase, power outages are likely to continue to rise. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. customers experienced an average of nearly six hours of power interruptions in 2018. If you have invested in a generator, you’ve prepared for when a storm hits, right? Almost. Even with a generator, you still need a battery backup, also known as an Un...
