Battery management plays a crucial role for critical infrastructure (KRITIS), which includes vital services such as electricity, water, healthcare, transportation, communications and many other areas. With the HOOTS battery management system, you can access the power, current, voltage and the associated times via WLAN in the data cloud or Bluetooth and thus effectively prevent deep battery discharge. Here are the top reasons why effective battery management is essential in these areas:
Ensuring emergency power supply : Critical infrastructure often needs to function around the clock, even during power outages. Batteries provide an immediately available backup power source to ensure continuity of services.
Reliability and availability : In critical applications, it is crucial that the power supply is reliable and available at all times. Good battery management ensures that the batteries are always ready for operation and their performance is maintained.
Maximize battery life : Batteries are costly investments, especially on a large scale. Effective battery management extends battery life by preventing overcharging, over-discharging and other harmful conditions.
Improve energy efficiency : Battery management systems can help increase energy efficiency by optimizing the charging and discharging of batteries. This is particularly important in systems that use renewable energy.
Preventive maintenance : Battery management systems can monitor the health of batteries and provide data for preventative maintenance. This allows problems to be identified and resolved before they lead to a failure.
Safety considerations : Batteries, especially those with high capacity, can pose safety risks, e.g. B. due to overheating or chemical leaks. A battery management system helps minimize these risks.
Compliance and regulatory requirements : Many areas of critical infrastructure are subject to strict regulatory requirements, which often include the reliability of the energy supply. A battery management system helps to comply with these specifications.
Rapid response to emergencies : In emergencies, such as natural disasters or other crises, it is crucial that critical infrastructure remains functional. Batteries can play a key role here.
In summary, battery management is essential for critical infrastructure to ensure the reliability, security and efficiency of the power supply and to ensure continuous operation under all circumstances.
