The substation battery banks are sized and purchased by the substation engineering activity. Battery banks are purchased direct from pre-approved battery bank manufacturers. Battery banks are purchased for individual substation projects and for replacement of deteriorated existing banks throughout the system as needed.
There are two major types of battery banks used for substation applications; lead acid and nickel cadmium. The nickel cadmium battery banks are about twice the cost of lead acid for the same size bank. The major advantage that nickel cadmium batteries have over lead acid is their performance in poor climatic conditions.
Switchgear and substation power systems work together to deliver electric power and reduce potential downstream faults ensuring safe electrical power. With the power utility landscape changing in terms of both architecture and methods of generation, the need for reliable energy storage solutions is growing.
The following is the standard design of substation battery banks being purchased: The substation battery banks are sized and purchased by the substation engineering activity. Battery banks are purchased direct from pre-approved battery bank manufacturers.
With the power utility landscape changing in terms of both architecture and methods of generation, the need for reliable energy storage solutions is growing. Substations are evolving and adapting to support new and varied generation sources including renewables.
Since all JEA substation battery banks are installed in climate controlled control houses, the additional cost is not justified. The lead acid battery banks have proven to be a very reliable, and maintenance free battery for the JEA for many years.
