Batteries and UPS: Design, Operations and Troubleshooting

Introduction

This 5-days course gives an insight into the subject of Batteries & UPS: Design, Operations & Troubleshooting. The subject of “power quality” is discussed and the need for Batteries & UPS System is emphasized. The basic circuits for the UPS system are explained and also various configurations shall be discussed. The concept of supply reliability is discussed and the various factors affecting reliability are presented.

Objectives

    Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:-

    • To present and appreciate the concept of Batteries & UPS and the types of “Critical loads” which need a Batteries & UPS supply.
    • To assist the practicing engineer in selecting suitable Batteries & UPS the various factors, which affect the selection of a suitable UPS, are discussed in detail.
    • To discuss the selection of a suitable Batteries & UPS configuration and its impact on the reliability of the system.
    • Understand the importance of UPS
    • Design the correct type of UPS system
    • Analyze the characteristics of batteries
    • Understand the role of the standby generator
    • Appreciate the functions of the UPS major components

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
