Abstract:
The present application discloses an integrated direct current (DC) subsystem monitoring system for monitoring and reporting status of a utility substation, the DC subsystem monitoring system having the ability to actively monitor and report on changes in the float current and current capacity of the system, as well as to monitor for ground faults.

Claim (Index 16):
A method for performing a capacity test on testing a battery bank comprising at least one battery, the battery bank being part of a load circuit in which the battery bank, a charger, and a system load are arranged in parallel, the battery bank having a nominal capacity and a set of capacity factors, the set of capacity factors including first and second capacity factors K t1  and K t2 , the method comprising:\n (a) electrically disconnecting the battery bank from the charger and the system load; (b) placing the battery in electrical contact with a capacity test circuit operationally configured to apply a constant resistance across the battery bank; (c) maintaining the battery bank in electrical contact with the capacity test circuit until the battery bank reaches a predetermined end voltage; (d) measuring a time to end voltage TD 2  comprising a period from the start of step (b) to the end of step (c); (e) measuring a temperature that is indicative of a temperature of the battery bank and calculating a temperature correction factor T cf  based on the measured temperature; (f) calculating an average current I avg  consisting of the mean of a first set of measurements of a current flowing through the capacity test circuit, each of the measurements of the first set of measurements being taken at first frequency during the performance of step (c); (g) calculating an average capacity factor K t  that is equal to the nominal capacity divided by the average current I avg ; (h) calculating a rated discharge time t for the capacity test performed in steps (a) through (d) as a function comprising a linear interpolation between first and second capacity factors K t1  and K t2 ; and (i) calculating a percentage C of the nominal capacity as a function of the rated discharge time t, the measured time to end of-voltage TD 2 , and the temperature correction factor T cf .
