Description

[0002] During normal reactor operation, the battery system, through a UPS, continuously provides uninterrupted power to the reactor's safety systems and equipment after a loss of normal power, playing a crucial role in the reactor's safe operation. Regular monitoring of battery parameters such as cell size and specific gravity is necessary, along with an annual capacity verification test. During the test, battery voltage fluctuations are significant and require close monitoring. Currently, there are three common methods for measuring battery voltage: the first involves operators measuring the voltage of each battery individually with a voltmeter, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; the second involves using a dedicated voltage measuring device to monitor the voltage of each battery, requiring each battery to be connected to the monitoring device via a set of wires, resulting in complex wiring and inconvenience for maintenance; the third utilizes a wireless communication module, connecting one or more batteries to a single module, which then communicates with a terminal wirelessly after measuring the voltage of one or more batteries. This method has simpler wiring, but due to reactor security requirements, wireless communication is prohibited in some areas, and wireless equipment is expensive, making it less suitable for reactors.
