Abstract
Rechargeable batteries are historically the oldest chemical source of electricity, and are still used today as a backup source of electricity to support power plants operation. The batteries connected to the auxiliary DC voltage busbars are powered from the AC mains by means of industrial electronics devices. The paper presents a study of the choice of appropriate battery maintenance methodology in order to increase the safety of thermal power systems, reduce system failure and increase reliability. A proposal for preventive maintenance through regular inspections and periodic replacement of individual cells is presented. The search for weak cells and their elimination is accompanied by technical diagnoses and tests of correctness and capacity. Finally, the results of the tests carried out at the Zrenjanin thermal power plant (the part of the company Panonske Termo-elektrane—toplane Zrenjanin) at five-year intervals are presented. In the concluding remarks, the need for maintenance is emphasized with a view to improving the system and reliability.
