Technical FAQs 4

What is a substation battery system?

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.

Does a substation have a dual battery system?

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.

Where should batteries be located in a substation control room?

Batteries are to be accommodated in a cabinet within the substation control room - separate battery rooms are not required. Cells are to be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations regarding separation between cells to allow air-flow for cooling and for easier access for removal if necessary.

What are the standards for battery installation & maintenance?

AS 2676 - Installation and maintenance of batteries in buildings. AS 3011 - Electrical installations - Secondary batteries installed in buildings. AS 4044 - Battery chargers for stationary batteries. ENA Doc 001-2008 National Electricity Network Safety Code.
