Faulty batteries and operator error account for 98% of UPS failures
and downtime. Investing in a battery monitoring system mitigates your
risk by sending a warning signal of impending problems or failures. In
addition to preventing lost revenues and increasing the reliability of
your backup power systems, battery monitoring keeps your employees and
equipment safe, limiting hands-on contact and human errors. The alternative is risking unplanned down time that can cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars per minute. Battery
monitoring systems give you frequent real-time measurements and
recordings of voltage, current and temperature. Proper battery
monitoring continuously measures and records ohmic measurements of each
cell, inter-cell, inter-row, and inter-tier connectors and discharge
events. Real-time battery data files give you explanations of
abnormal values, suggest appropriate maintenance, and allow you to zip
and send data for expert analysis. By proactively identifying problems,
battery monitoring guarantees availability and reliability of your
critical power system.
While there are several monitoring
systems available, U.S. Energy's allegiance is with you, not the
manufacturer. We will consult with you to
- Perform a cost analysis and feasibility study for monitoring services.
- Identify your critical sites for monitoring.
- Select a monitoring system with desired features and testing methodology.
- Standardize your testing methodology.
- Develop a method of procedure for communications, alarming and action plan.
Contact U. S. Energy to help you select the battery monitoring system to best meet your needs.
