Batteries provide the vital energy storage capability in a secure UPS system providing continuity of power during mains supply outages. We can supply a battery as part of a secure power system or supply the battery for the customer's specific purpose. We will select and design the best battery solution for the project application.Batteries provide the vital energy storage capability in a secure UPS system providing continuity of power during mains supply outages. We can supply a battery as part of a secure power system or supply the battery for the customer's specific purpose. We will select and design the best battery solution for the project application.

We will advise clients on the battery technology most suited to the application and typically pick from:

• Valve regulated lead acid
• Flooded lead acid i.e. Plante
• Flooded nickel cadmium (NiCd)
• Gas recombination low maintenance NiCd
• Lithium ion stationary

Solution Design

At the initial proposal stage our expert and dedicated sales engineers will provide the client with a battery solution sized and based on:

• The system critical loads requiring support during supply outage
• The period of time (autonomy) the battery will supply power
• Battery ageing factors
• Redundancy and multi string configurations
• Design and operational life
• Battery accommodation i.e. enclosures or stands
• Commercial requirements
• Cooling and ventilation constraints
• Battery circuit protection and fault current considerations

Accommodation & Options

The battery solution will require some form of accommodation that will be designed to meet any physical site constraints and can be configured with a number of options and accessories:

• A range of flexible range of battery enclosures with configurable shelves
• Stands in bespoke design arrangements
• Protection and switchgear with EXd options
• Battery monitoring down to individual cell level

Installation & Lifecycle Management

We have the capability to provide installation, commissioning and lifecycle management for the battery system:

• Onshore and offshore installation and commissioning
• Inspection and preventative maintenance
• Discharge testing
• Thermal image monitoring
