PowerShield8 Lithium Battery Monitoring System

Battery management teams who are used to Advanced Battery Monitoring and management for Lead Acid batteries and who have recently switched to Lithium batteries may be disappointed with what they see. PowerShield8 can help fill the gaps, ensuring complete visibility of each battery asset’s past and present health and performance down to an individual cell level.

Powerful Battery Management Dashboards, Reports and analytical tools allow you to drill from an enterprise level through facilities, systems, modules, and cells. Consistently monitor VRLA, VLA, NiCad and Lithium battery assets on one platform independent of the UPS system used.

Measure Layer

All measurement is handled by the Lithium BMS.

Analyse Layer

The Controller collects and stores data from the Lithium BMS, and sends it to the presentation layer. Value is added by comprehensive battery and ancilliary data capture – ensuring root cause of BMS alarms can be clearly seen. Smart logging facilitates improved event based and trend analysis. The Controller retrieves the string state from the BMS, and manufacturer alarm limits are re-presented.

Presentation and User Interface layer

The presentation layer is where battery monitoring switches to battery management. PowerShield provides a range of user interface tools to view, report and analyse your batteries. Whether as a field service tool (Controller UI), on-premise software (Link) or cloud platform (Assure). PowerShield gives you full visibility from battery commissioning to end of life.
