WE HAVE C&D MAKE 200 AMPERE HOUR LEAD CALCIUM BATTERY BANK INSTALLED AT OUR POWER GENERATION FACILITY. The battery bank is of 130 vdc capacity comprising of 19 units each of 6 volts output. This bank is used for field flashing.
We have experienced problem in 120 VDC battery bank of one of our two Gas Turbine Units. Our Turbines are of GE make, Model 5001P, Turbine Serial Nos. 281817 & 281818. The batteries are of Lead Calcium type of C&D make and were replaced back in 1996. We have conducted load test of the batteries and have been found exhausted requiring replacement. Delivery period of similar new batteries is around 16 to 20 weeks.
We are considering installation of Lead Acid batteries, readily available in local market, as an interim arrangement to ensure smooth operation of turbines with battery back-up. Your advice is requested in this respect.
