Evolution in Battery Energy Densities

For decades stable grid energy storage applications have often been addressed by using either Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) gel tubular OPzV or flooded OPzS batteries. In a modern context, however, the drawbacks of OPzV and particularly OPzS technologies are becoming increasingly clear - and the time has now come for implementing changes

Addressing the Energy Capacity Shortfall

In an increasing majority of standby float (stable grid) applications, there are expectations to ramp up energy storage capacities. In existing battery deployments, this must be done without extra space needing to be assigned for accommodating racking, etc. Across the board, higher density battery solutions are being called for.

The Next Era For Standby Float

The demands of customers involved in standby float (often referred to as stable grid) applications are ramping up dramatically. Here a float charge is used to constantly maintain the batteries in a full state of charge (SoC) condition – so that they are ready to respond to any interruptions in the mains supply, should that occur, and the connected load can still be supported. In the past, it was mainly the lifespan of batteries that mattered for such applications. Now, expectations are being raised in relation to other properties.

Extended Runtime: How Will It Affect Your Network Infrastructure

The cable broadband network has evolved from being a vehicle for the provision of entertainment services to become a strategic element of the country’s infrastructure, providing broadband internet access to both homes and businesses. Without appropriate backup measures in place, however, network availability is only as good as the utility grid that powers it.

Extreme Weather—Is Your Network Vulnerable?

Pressure is consequently growing on multiple-system operators (MSOs) to solidify their distributed hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) networks against more significant power outages by extending runtimes. While longer runtimes at any HFC network site can be achieved by adding generators, batteries, or both, it is not always that simple

Article

Getting the Most Out of Your Batteries

As expectations on network runtimes grow, and while utility outages become more frequent, multiple-system operators (MSOs) should review their deployed battery backup solutions. The challenge facing network operations is how to safely and cost-effectively increase energy densities across the hybrid fiber-coax (HFC) network.
