In the process of using UPS power supply system, people tend to unilaterally think that storage battery is maintenance-free and pay no attention to it. However, data show that the proportion of UPS mainframe failure or abnormal operation caused by battery failure is about 1/3. Therefore, it is more and more important to strengthen the correct use and maintenance of UPS batteries for prolonging the life of batteries and reducing the failure rate of UPS systems.

In addition to the selection of regular brand batteries, we should start from the following aspects to correctly use and maintain batteries:

1.Maintain appropriate ambient temperature

Ambient temperature is an important factor affecting the life of battery. The optimum ambient temperature required by battery manufacturers is between 20℃ ~ 25 ℃. Although the discharge capacity of batteries is improved with the increase of temperature, the cost is that the life of batteries is greatly shortened. According to the test results, once the ambient temperature exceeds 25℃, the battery life will be reduced by half for every 10℃ increase. At present, UPS batteries are generally maintenance-free sealed lead-acid batteries. Their design life is generally five years, which can be achieved only under the environment required by battery manufacturers. If it fails to meet the required environmental requirements, its life span will vary greatly. In addition, the increase of ambient temperature will lead to the increase of chemical activity inside the battery, which will generate a lot of heat, and in turn will promote the increase of ambient temperature. This vicious cycle will accelerate the shortening of battery life.

2.Charging and discharging regularly

The floating charge voltage and discharge voltage in UPS power supply have been adjusted to the rated value at the time of leaving the factory. The discharge current increases with the increase of the load. The load should be adjusted reasonably in use, such as controlling the number of electronic devices such as microcomputers. Normally, the load should not exceed 60% of the UPS rated load. Within this range, the discharge current of the battery will not be excessive discharge.

Because UPS is connected with municipal electricity for a long time, in the environment of high quality power supply and few blackouts, the storage battery will be in floating charge for a long time, which will lead to the reduction of the activity of the conversion between chemical energy and electric energy, accelerate aging and shorten the service life of the battery. Therefore, the discharge should be completed every 2-3 months, and the discharge time can be determined according to the capacity and load size of the battery. After discharge of a full load, recharge for more than 8 hours according to regulations.

3.Utilizing Communication Functions

At present, the vast majority of large and medium-sized UPS have the operability of communication with microcomputers and program control. The corresponding software is installed on the computer, and UPS is connected through serial/parallel ports. By running the program, the computer can communicate with UPS. Generally, it has the functions of information inquiry, parameter setting, timing setting, automatic shutdown and alarm. Through information inquiry, information such as input voltage, UPS output voltage, load utilization ratio, battery capacity utilization ratio, in-machine temperature and power frequency can be obtained. Through parameter setting, basic characteristics of UPS, battery maintenance time and battery exhaustion alarm can be set. Through these intelligent operations, it greatly facilitates the use and management of UPS power supply and its batteries.

4.Replace batteries in time.

At present, the number of batteries equipped with large and medium UPS power supply varies from 3 to 80, or even more. These individual batteries form battery packs through circuit connections to meet the needs of UPS DC power supply. In the continuous operation and use of UPS, due to the difference in performance and quality, the performance of individual batteries is degraded and the storage capacity is not up to the requirements and damage is inevitable. When one or more batteries in the battery pack are damaged, maintenance personnel should check and test each batteries to eliminate damaged batteries. When replacing new batteries, we should strive to purchase batteries of the same type as those of the same manufacturer. It is forbidden to mix acid-proof batteries with sealed batteries and batteries of different specifications.

To optimize the efficiency and reliability of solar power generation system, a relatively new method is to use micro-inverters connected to each solar cell module. Each solar cell is equipped with a single micro-inverter, which enables the system to adapt to changing loads and weather conditions, thus providing the best conversion efficiency for a single solar cell and the whole system.

The concept of micro-inverters has a long history, but it did not attract people’s attention at first. In recent years, with the development of solar power technology and technological progress, micro-inverters are very attractive.

The photovoltaic power generation system with micro-inverters can simplify wiring, which means lower installation costs, higher efficiency of the solar power generation system, and shorten the time required to recover the initial investment.

Many chinese manufacturers of solar on grid inverters are mainly engaged in the development of high-power centralized on grid inverters. With the increasing popularity of domestic and foreign micro-inverters market, many manufacturers have begun to develop micro-inverters. The differences between micro-inverters and traditional inverters are as follows.

1.Inverter has low input voltage and high output voltage. The output voltage range of a single solar cell module is generally 20 to 50 V, while the peak voltage of the grid is about 311 V (220 VAC) or 156 V (110 VAC). Therefore, the output peak voltage of the micro-inverters is much higher than the input voltage, which requires the micro-inverters to adopt the inverters topology with step-up and step-down conversion function. The centralized inverters are generally buck converters, which usually adopt bridge topology. The peak voltage of the output AC side of the inverters is lower than that of the input DC side.

2.The power is small. The power of a single solar cell module is generally between 100W and 300W. The micro-inverters are directly matched with a single solar cell module, and the power level is between 100W and 300W. The traditional centralized inverters generate high enough power through series and parallel combination of several solar cell modules, and their power level is generally over 1 kW.

Physical environment is usually neglected when UPS is selected by industrial enterprises. Due to the influence of production and manufacturing site factors, there are many problems in industrial application environment, such as high temperature, humidity, large amount of dust and serious air pollution. In special industrial occasions, the air in the environment may also contain corrosive gases, or the body inclines in the case of vibration, which may easily lead to short-circuit of UPS internal components and power supply failure. Therefore, UPS need to have a strong environmental adaptability, to respond to the test of harsh environment with comprehensive performance.

From the point of view of electrical environment, the precise production equipment of the production line always has very stringent requirements for power supply. Power grid pollution in industrial application site is very serious, and it often faces special power supply and special industry standards. As the core of industrial power supply system, industrial UPS should be able to provide high-quality power to the load under any load and power supply conditions, eliminate the impact of instantaneous interruption of power grid and various radio disturbances on industrial equipment system, effectively prevent the harm of overvoltage of power grid to the load, and ensure the reliable operation of key industrial processes and control.

Load characteristics are an important factor affecting the selection of industrial grade UPS. In industrial automation production, due to the variety of types of electrical equipment, large differences, and complex load characteristics, the total load is often inductive, and the current fluctuation is relatively large, which will have a greater impact on the power supply. Therefore, the steady-state current and transient peak current and duration of the load are an important consideration when selecting an UPS for inductive or hybrid loads that exceed the UPS output power factor range. Due to improper consideration of the UPS power, the customer’s funds are wasted, and if the selected industrial UPS power supply is too small it will have an impact on reliable load protection. These are the ones we should avoid when choosing.
