Servato Corp., a leading provider of energy management solutions announced today that Business Development Manager, Alex Rawitz, will present a session on Adaptive Charging at Battery Power 2016. The talk promises to shed light on the need for active battery management to better support the demands of mission critical services, particularly in telecommunications networks.
The session, Adaptive Charging, a Further Development of Intermittent Float for Charge Maintenance of VRLA Batteries in Telecommunications Standby Systems, will detail the ongoing development of Servato’s unique adaptive charging solution and the benefits associated with the method compared to conventional float charging. Mr. Rawitz will also highlight case studies whereby Servato’s unique procedure for testing and charging batteries has detected battery and other equipment issues.
Mr. Rawitz will discuss adaptive charging, which is an improved method for charge maintenance of standby batteries. It involves measuring critical battery data such as rectifier output voltage, open circuit voltage, discharge and charge voltages and internal resistance. Since battery data is dependent on factors such as temperature and battery age, the frequency of charge is varied to compensate for these factors, resulting in longer life. Trend analysis and comparison of this data through a battery signature history can enable additional capabilities, such as detecting a failing battery and predicting its likely failure date. The session will also show how such a system can be implemented in a real-world battery management system.
Battery Power 2016 is an international conference highlighting the latest developments impacting battery systems for consumer and commercial products, including mobile and wearable devices, medical devices, stationary and critical power systems and electric vehicles. Conference topics will include new battery designs, improving power management, predicting battery life, regulations and standards, safety and transportation, battery authentication, charging technology, emerging chemistries and market trends.
