Where do batteries go in a substation?
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.
What is a petrochemical substation?
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.
What issues should a substation design engineer consider when installing batteries?
Hydrogen off-gassing is another issue that often arises when dealing with batteries in a substation. The design engineer should consult American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 500 to determine ventilation and classification requirements whenever batteries are installed indoors.
How do you protect a substation battery?
There’s also the chance of an unqualified person ignoring the warning sign and entering the substation. So some sort of protective, ventilated enclosure is always recommended where the batteries are capable of coming in contact with personnel. Adequate illumination must also be provided around these battery banks.
Why do substations need reliable energy storage solutions?
With the power utility landscape changing in terms of both architecture and methods of generation, the need for reliable energy storage solutions is growing. Substations are evolving and adapting to support new and varied generation sources including renewables.
How do switchgear and substation power systems work together?
Switchgear and substation power systems work together to deliver electric power and reduce potential downstream faults ensuring safe electrical power. With the power utility landscape changing in terms of both architecture and methods of generation, the need for reliable energy storage solutions is growing.
