Introduction to Battery Health Monitoring Systems

Introduction:

Batteries play a pivotal role in maintaining uninterrupted power, ensuring business continuity during power disruptions. Understanding the fundamentals of battery health monitoring systems (BHMS) and their advantages is essential for uninterrupted power continuity.

What is BHMS?

BHMS, or Battery Health Monitoring System, is an intelligent and sophisticated system designed to monitor battery health and efficiency. By implementing BHMS, organizations mitigate the risk of battery failure, thus ensuring uninterrupted power supply.

  • Requires a 24VDC power supply and can store up to 1 million events in permanent storage.
  • Capable of monitoring parameters for multiple batteries simultaneously.
  • Measures voltage range up to 0-18VDC/0-3VDC and current range up to 600A.
  • Communication to the PC is facilitated via RS485 and MODBUS protocols.

Monitored Parameters:

  • Cell voltage of each battery
  • Net voltage and Ampere-hour (AH) of battery banks
  • Terminal and ambient temperatures
  • Charging and discharging currents
  • Internal resistance during charging and discharging
  • AH values during charging and discharging
  • Online status of battery bank

Benefits of BHMS:

  • Improves battery life and bank performance
  • Ensures uninterrupted power supply
  • Reduces maintenance costs
  • Enhances safety and battery performance
  • Enables real-time continuous monitoring of parameters
  • Identifies weak batteries or cells before failure
  • Facilitates remote monitoring of single or multiple battery banks
  • Provides data logging with customizable reports
  • Alerts through audible and visual alarms for battery failures
  • Monitors charging and discharging statuses
  • Facilitates planned battery/cell replacement schedules, avoiding emergency replacements

Understanding the basics of Battery Health Monitoring Systems empowers organizations to take proactive measures for uninterrupted business continuity. Explore how Sharp UPS battery solutions offer a distinct advantage in this regard.
