Abstract

© 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved. The article provides an analysis of the features of operation of stationary lead-acid rechargeable batteries at power plants as a source of power for operational DC circuits. The aim of the study was to compare widely used lead-acid battery systems with free electrolyte with dryfit and AGM technologies. The result of the study is to determine the significant advantages of sealed batteries in the implementation of gas evolution and recombination processes. On the basis of the conducted research and the revealed modern trend in the implementation of hardware for automation and telemechanics based on low-maintenance and maintenance-free equipment, conclusions have been made about the feasibility of using sealed lead-acid batteries as sources of operational direct current at power distribution facilities.
