Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are used to store power (often from a renewable source) for later use during a critical time. The benefits of these systems include cost savings, clean energy, and reducing downtime. It is vital that the electrical integrity of the systems are properly monitored to maintain the benefits.
Benefits
- Minimize system downtime - Electrical issues can be detected and located while keeping the installation fully energized.
- Increase safety - Ground-fault location at packs and modules minimizes battery fire risk (with quick repair).
- Automatically locate faults - Automatic fault location provides remote diagnostic tools which eliminate the need to have technicians on-site during the fault.
- Reduce maintenance costs - Significant decrease in maintenance costs due to the accuracy of detection and decreased need for human interaction with the system.
