Cutting-edge technologies are researching new materials to be used for industrial batteries, such that they have enhanced performance for future requirements. These futuristic projects are shaping the demand for industrial batteries based on their performance, chemical compositions, and disposal or recyclability. AAGE International always keeps tabs on the latest in the energy sector to deliver to the growing industry in the Middle East.
UPS / CBS & Solar applications:
The new norm in the energy sector is tapping solar power for industrial sector usage. The storage of the solar energy and output on a bigger scale is a challenge and innovations are done in this field on a daily basis. A reliable uninterrupted power supply system and combined battery system technologies are of core interest in the future of solar power plants. Presently backup power systems using solar power are promoted in the industrial sector which enhances the global move towards sustainable energy resources. Solar powered UPS systems find wide applications in medical units and telecommunication sectors. CBS grids are found to be the most efficient in storing energy and as backup systems irrespective of whether they are used as stand-alone or Hybrid units.
| UPS | CBS |
|---|---|
| Provides uninterrupted consistent power supply | Centralized energy storage |
| Backup source or primary source | Backup power for buildings, telecom, and emergency systems |
| Data centers, labs, telecommunications | Protects critical equipment from voltage fluctuations and power outages |
| Commercial and industrial applications | Suitable for medium to large-scale backup requirements |
Remote field monitoring units prefer these types of units for their reliable output performance. The control towers can use apps to track the performance and measure the output at any given point of time. Sensitive places like medical equipment, labs make use of these backup power supply systems to ensure smooth power transition. Valve regulated lead acid batteries are used for CBS due to their higher safety factor as supplementary energy sources
For remote locations such as deserts or mountain tops, a robust, all-weather unit is essential—one that can withstand dust storms, moisture, and extreme heat. This is where Central Battery Systems (CBS) play a vital role. In addition to providing reliable backup power, these units protect equipment from voltage fluctuations and power spikes. Their ability to seamlessly integrate with existing installations makes UPS and CBS an ideal choice for backup power systems
Lead Acid battery and Gel Battery:
The workhorse category of industrial battery sector are the lead-acid and gel batteries. Its a general principle that lead-acid usually refers to flooded type and gel batteries to sealed type of batteries. Apart from the electrolyte the basic structure and electrochemical reactions are same for both the categories. Liquid electrolyte flooded batteries form the core principle for lead-acid variety and a silica gel to coagulate the electrolyte forms the basis for gel batteries.
| Lead-acid Batteries | Gel Batteries |
|---|---|
| Spills and leakages are common | No spill or leakage |
| Usually kept in upright position | Any angle, orientation is possible |
| Regular water refilling required | No need to refill with water |
| Should adhere to set operating temperature | Shock and temperature resistant |
| Specific maintenance schedule is needed | Near zero maintenance required |
| Cheaper cost of materials | Comparatively costlier |
| High self-discharge, lesser life | Low self-discharge, bigger life span |
Other Interesting Features Preferred In Upcoming Industrial Batteries:
Packaging: Modular packaging is the most preferred way. The way these units can be scaled and the customizable options that come along with them make them easy to put on the grid.
Energy Density Ratio: The upcoming batteries are expected to get a higher energy density capability to accommodate more power in a lesser space. Compact models are the need of the hour and hence the requirement for higher energy density.
Improvised Safety Features: The expectation for safer batteries is on the rise since industrial battery usage, as the thermal runaway and fires are often associated with them. New raw material testing and model effectiveness testing are being done to come up with a robust and intelligent design of batteries for safety.
Generalized Gen Z Requirements: Less time for battery recharge and longer outputs are very common requirements for any kind of battery. The charge-discharge cycle is directly proportional to the performance degradation of the batteries and this is where innovations are expected to make them rock-solid under any circumstances.
Sustainability: The key to switching over to renewable energy is sustainability. The impact on the environment is minimized using hybrid technology compared to traditional methods. The battery production and recycling after usage happen in a step-by-step procedure. This way, all battery suppliers can ensure eco-friendly methods are incorporated in their business, fulfilling their commitment towards environmental restrictions from local governance.
A guaranteed uninterrupted power supply is only possible when the supplier has adequate experience in requirement analysis.
