So, you’ve been told you need a Battery Management System (BMS) for lithium-ion batteries — maybe for a new battery installation, an energy storage project or to meet evolving safety standards. The BMS acts as the brains of the battery system: to monitor performance, keep charging and discharging within safe limits and shut things down … Why Hydrogen Detection Is a Must-Have in Your Li-Ion Battery Management System
Imagine a bustling city sidewalk suddenly erupting in flames as an underground network transformer fails. Or picture entire city blocks plunged into darkness when aging infrastructure gives out without warning. Critical emergency services, businesses and residents stand to lose services for an indeterminate period, demonstrating the potential consequences of compromised network transformer failures that can … H2scan Breaks the Cost and Performance Barrier … Delivering a New Way to Monitor Network Transformers
The power sector is currently grappling with a triple threat; transformer supply chain disruptions, rising costs and aging in-service transformers. Currently, lead times for large transformers have surged to 120 to 210 weeks (about 4 years), in a stark increase from the 30-60 weeks potential delivery times pre-pandemic. At the same time, raw material commodity … Mitigating Transformer Aging: The Critical Triad of Heat, Moisture and Oxygen
I am asked questions every day about the importance of transformer dissolved gas analysis (DGA) and how to use it for transformer monitoring, safety and maintenance, so I thought it would be interesting to get some answers from the source: the C57.104 Guide for the Interpretation of Gases Generated in Mineral Oil-Immersed Transformers1. This guide … Answers to Your Transformer Dissolved Gas Analysis Questions and Fault Identification Methods
Transformer fleets are under-monitored when it comes to dissolved gas analysis (DGA) testing for fault conditions. What can managers of electricity infrastructure assets do about this? H2scan’s Leon White has published an article in T&D World Magazine about hydrogen monitoring in transformers entitled, “Monitoring Hydrogen in Transformer Fleets.” This article explains how solid state hydrogen … Monitoring Hydrogen in Transformer Fleets
