Summary:
|
Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPSs) are backup power systems that supply electrical energy during power outages or emergencies. They are essential for ensuring reliable power delivery to critical infrastructure such as hospitals, power plants, airports, military facilities, data center and ICT system. UPSs are also widely used to support critical loads (facilities or systems) in buildings, factories, enterprises, and other environments.
Li-ion batteries are increasingly being adopted for UPSs in place of traditional lead-acid batteries due to their higher energy density, which enables more compact and space-efficient UPS designs. This transition is further driven by rising energy demands. However, despite these advantages, Li-ion batteries come with specific safety risk most notably thermal runaway, which can lead to fires or explosions if not properly managed. These risks introduce new safety challenges and require well-defined fault detection and prevention mechanisms.
Therefore, UPSs and Li-ion batteries should be effectively managed to ensure the continued supply of electrical energy to critical infrastructure. The management system performs real-time management of UPSs and Li-ion batteries, based on data collected from both the Power Electronic Converter System (PECS) and the battery system comprising the UPS.
This draft Recommendation defines a management system framework for collecting the information required to monitor the status and detect faults in the UPS. It also specifies methods for fault assessment and detailed fault prevention procedures.
