Substation Battery Systems Present & Future
•The substation batteries for the DC system must be in operation 24/7 – 365 – NOT just for backup power, but also to provide the current needed for day-to-day switching operations
Types of Batteries Used in SubstationsLead-Acid Batteries Flooded Lead-Acid Batteries: These are the traditional type of lead-acid batteries, known for their reliability and durability.
The primary role of the substation battery system is to provide a source of energy that is independent of the primary ac supply, so that in the event of the loss of the primary supply the substation control systems that require energy to operate can still do so safely.
Substations with duplicated protection systems shall have dual (2) battery systems - one for each protection system. Substations that do not have remote back-up protection systems shall also have dual battery systems. Substations without duplicated protection systems, and which have remote back-up protection, shall have a single (1) battery system.
Today, normal DC auxiliary supply systems in power substation are operating on the 110 V or 220 V level. Battery, charger and distribution switchboard are
Substations are prevalent in all petrochemical facilities. Their function is to distribute power to the process units. Typically, there are either one or two types of battery systems within each substation. There may be a “station power” battery system to power the switchgear controls, which typically operates at 125VDC.
So in normal conditions, it is the charger that supplies DC power to protection, communication, control, and measurement devices running in the Electrical substation & not the battery bank. 3. D-C-D-B: DC Distribution Board
In large substations, the batteries may be out in the middle of the floor with the pan protruding all the way around the battery rack. Erroneously, the measurements for the required working space about the batteries are many times taken from the terminals of the batteries.
