Battery Monitoring system
In general, battery monitoring systems refer to systems that are used in order to increase efficiency along with reducing hidden costs resulting from the use of different types of batteries.
In this presentation, we tried to introduce the F-DBMS project of Fourse Pishgam company, which is a new generation of distributed battery monitoring systems, while briefly introducing battery monitoring systems.
The importance of battery monitoring system
An overview of the role of BMS (Battery Monitoring System) systems
Since the batteries play an important role in providing the emergency power network during the city’s power outages, it is very important to ensure the health of the batteries in order to provide energy.
In general, each battery, regardless of the characteristics of the voltage and current, has an independent and single existence, and environmental conditions such as storage conditions and temperature can have a significant effect on the amount and percentage of its efficiency. For this reason, the battery as an independent energy source should be continuously monitored and its three components voltage-temperature and internal resistance should be sampled to ensure its health and maximum efficiency.
Therefore, the organizations that do not have a BMS system make periodical visits, which are often monthly, in order to measure the voltage and temperature of the environment “manually” during a traditional routine. It is worth mentioning that in many monthly visits, due to the impossibility of checking the internal resistance, this very important factor is not taken into account and they only measure the temperature and voltage of the battery. The reason for this is the high price of internal resistance measuring devices.
Obviously, in the case of organizations that are faced with multiple batteries, due to the sensitivity of energy supply on the one hand and the increase in the price of all types of batteries in recent years, monitoring and maintaining the battery network of that organization in the traditional way and monthly visits can be Organizations face serious challenges that can be minimized by using the battery monitoring system.
Capabilities of the monitoring system
Fourse company’s distributed battery monitoring system, abbreviated as F-DBMS, not only has all the capabilities of any BMS system, but also has a special feature. This system can be used as a standalone system or as a distributed system. In simpler words, organizations that have multiple battery banks will be able to centrally monitor all the batteries of their different centers from a single point and online by using the F-DBMS system of Fourse Company.
Spend wisely
Battery health or the so-called SOH (State Of Health) is a very important factor that indicates how efficient the battery in the emergency power supply network is compared to its first day. For example, if the health of the X battery is 100% at the time of production, after a year has passed since the battery was under load, the SOH of the battery has decreased to a number close to 92%. This means the environmental conditions of the battery, how the battery is stored and the amount
Using this battery during the year has led to an 8% decrease in battery health. Therefore, calculating the SOH of the battery is of great help to the person in charge of the maintenance department regarding the calculation of the health of each battery.
Contrary to the traditional methods of battery maintenance, in which due to the impossibility of calculating SOH, customers are forced to change and replace a branch in the battery bank, in emergency power networks that are equipped with BMS system, it is possible to calculate the SOH of individual batteries. Replace the batteries that are not in good condition in terms of health, and there is no need to replace all the batteries of the same branch.
In this way, with the help of a BMS system, it is possible to create very appropriate information on emergency power supply networks, and thanks to real-time statistics and information, instead of spending large amounts of money to buy a large number of batteries and their depots, in a completely intelligent and with Paying attention to the organization’s budget, he procured and replaced defective batteries.
