The primary role of the substation battery system is to provide a source of energy that is independent of the primary ac supply, so that in the event of the loss of the primary supply the substation control systems that require energy to operate can still do so safely.
The battery is required to supply the DC electrical requirements of the substation, including SCADA, control, protection indication, communications and circuit breaker switching operations when there is no output from the battery charger. This may be due to a loss of AC supply to the substation or a fault in the battery charger.
The higher (more important) role the substation plays from the complete distribution or transmission network point of view, the higher are the demands for the substation’s DC auxiliary power systems. To meet the increased demands for reliability and availability, the DC system can be doubled (Figure 3).
Today, normal DC auxiliary supply systems in power substation are operating on the 110 V or 220 V level. Battery, charger and distribution switchboard are
A power substation can have one or several DC systems. Factors affecting the number of systems are the need for more than one voltage level and the need for duplicating systems. Today, normal DC auxiliary supply systems in power substations are operating either on the 110 V or 220 V level, though lower levels exist.
Some systems at the substation may require lower voltages as their auxiliary supply source. A typical example of these systems would be the optical telecommunication devices or the power line carrier (PLC) equipment, which normally requires 48 V.
