PRE-CONFERENCE SEMINARS
MONDAY 1:30 TO 5:30
A
ttending one of the preconference seminars lets you brush up on old
skills and discover new directions the battery industry is taking. These
seminars bring well respected, industry specialists into the classroom with
the attendee students. Content focuses on batteries, technical aspects of the DC
system, and manufacturing, maintenance, and testing issues. Enjoy learning and
networking in these seminars. All seminars are on Monday from 1:30PM to 5:30PM.
Each $99 seminar helps you better understand batteries or material presented at the
conference. There are no prerequisites for these seminars.
± STATIONARY BATTERY BASICS SEMINAR
Instructors: Rick Tressler (Albércorp), John Kim (EnerSys)
How does a battery work? What are the basic electrochemical actions that occur?
What is the impact of using the wrong charge voltage? What is float service? What
are some of the more predominant battery failure mechanisms, and what can
be done to avoid and control them? What are the recommended maintenance
tasks for a stationary battery system? What is a VRLA battery and why is it called
maintenance-free? How can I get the most life out of my batteries? This session
can help answer these and other questions. Our two instructors spend the
afternoon discussing fundamentals of the lead-acid battery.
± BEYOND THE FUNDAMENTALS SEMINAR:
ADVANCED TOPICS IN LEAD ACID BATTERIES
Instructors: Curtis Ashton (CenturyLink), Steve Clark (Allied Technical Resources)
This seminar provides additional, in-depth information for attendees who need a
more in-depth understanding of their battery systems. Beyond the Fundamentals
explores five key topic areas that will assist in understanding more about what
goes on inside as well as outside a battery. These topics include discussions
on the following: Advanced lead acid fundamentals. Application, selection, and
considerations for both conventional flooded and VRLA types. Data collection,
record keeping, IEEE recommendations, warranty, and trending health. Failure
modes, the aging process, warranty issues, and end of life determination.
Periodic visual inspection criteria, where problems arise, and causes of troubles
throughout the service life of a battery.
± FOCUS ON SEMINAR:
IMPLEMENTING A NERC COMPLIANT BATTERY
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
Instructors: Bill Cantor (TPI), Tom Carpenter (Tennessee Valley Authority), Mike
Nispel, Chris Searles (BAE Batteries USA), Kurt Uhlir (Standby Power System
Consultants, Inc.)
NERC PRC-005 requires owners to implement a battery maintenance program
that meets certain requirements. There are various options allowable in the
implementation of the maintenance program. There are also supplemental guides
and FAQs associated with PRC-005 that attempt to help the users understand
the requirements. This seminar will help users understand why PRC-005 was
developed, provide an interpretation of the requirements by battery and utility
experts, provide some in-depth understanding on how ohmic readings can be
used, and provide user experiences of actual implementations

± What can be learned from visual inspections of stationary lead-acid batteries? Real world examples.
Allen Byrne, Technical Support and Services Manager, Interstate PowerCare, A Division of Interstate Batteries
IEEE Std. 450™-2010 and IEEE Std. 1188™-2005 amended by IEEE Std. 1188a™-2014 and other battery related standards
such as NERC PRC-005 require a visual inspection of the battery. What exactly does this mean? This paper will describe
a methodological approach to visual inspection of the battery and battery room that, if followed, will help the user spot
potential problems. The procedure is illustrated by photographs and descriptions of actual problems experienced by the
authors. The causes and effects will be discussed.
± Performance testing lead-acid stationary batteries: Myths, misunderstandings and mistakes.
Rick Tressler, Senior Training Engineer, Albércorp
This paper will explore several topics regarding problems test technicians encounter with basic battery performance testing.
In the end, erroneous data is frequently the result. Retesting because a test was improperly set up or conducted is costly and
time consuming. The intent of the paper is to bring the more common issues to light. Processes and methodologies that will
help ensure a properly executed performance test will be discussed.
± How to avoid a starring role in a really ugly case study: Stupid errors easily avoided.
Dan McMenamin, President, Dan McMenamin and Associates, Inc.
The purpose of this paper is to share case histories of accidents, fires and near-miss events and several quick, simple and
inexpensive steps that would have avoided them. The cases regard battery handling gone wrong, exciting moments in UPS
and dc plant work, and injuries that didn’t need to happen. While our jobs aren’t rocket science, nobody explained that
to the hydrogen.

only know the national codes, but what specifically pertains to your area.
± A new direction for battery and energy storage standards development.
Chris Searles, National Director of Business Development, BAE Batteries USA
In 1964, Bob Dylan released a song with the lyric, "Your old road is rapidly agin’. Please get out of the new one if you can’t
lend your hand, for the times they are a-changin’." The IEEE Power and Energy Society recognizes the truth of that statement
for the power and energy industry. As a result, the IEEE Stationary Battery Committee has been reorganized to address
the current needs of its Society members. This paper will explain the rationale behind that decision, discuss its scope and
organizational structure, and outline what it sees as its future objectives.

Resources), Rob Schmitt (GNB Industrial Power)
VLA batteries don’t take care of themselves and have to be meaningfully maintained and looked after. This panel will lead
a discussion on some key points of this nurturing process, focusing on some often overlooked aspects. In addition to
application of industry standards (IEEE 450), visual inspections and tribal knowledge, the proper use of test equipment and
the value and meaning of ohmic measurements will be discussed. The panel will also discuss failure modes, remedial action
and replacement criteria. Audience participation will be encouraged and topic related questions answered.

± Data analysis to optimize UPS battery performance and management.
Gregory Ratcliff, Director, Life Cycle Management, Emerson Network Power, Liebert Services
Failure of a data center's UPS system can mean substantial losses, and batteries are consistently a leading root cause of
those failures. The key to avoiding these losses is being able to accurately identify and service battery strings that are at risk
- insights that can be extrapolated from data. This paper will focus on data-driven analysis by detailing one project in which a
team used millions of data points, gathered over 12 years, to compare the operational performance of customers’ individual
units to the historic performance of the same model in similar environments and applications. The paper will expound on the
data acquisition and advanced big-data analysis process that enabled the team to accurately forecast remaining service life,
including correlation of the effects of nine key external factors from the historic battery service life portfolio.
± Adaptive charging: A further development of intermittent float for charge maintenance of VRLA batteries
in telecommunications standby systems.
David Boden, Consultant, Servato Corp.
Adaptive charging is an improved method for charge maintenance of standby batteries. It involves measuring critical battery
data, such as rectifier output voltage, open circuit voltage, discharge and charge voltages, and internal resistance. These data
are used to initiate charge when needed and only for as long as needed to maintain the batteries at full charge. Since these
factors are dependent on temperature and battery age, the frequency of charge is varied to compensate for them, resulting
in longer life. Trend analysis and comparison of these data with a battery signature library can enable additional capabilities,
such as detecting a failing battery and predicting its likely failure date. A way that this system can be implemented in a
practical battery management system is described and life test and field test data from several sites are shown.
± Achieving both fast recharge and low risk of overcharge in charger-controlled systems.
William Kaewert, President, Stored Energy Systems, LLC (SENS)
In some applications, there is a need to recharge conventional batteries (lead-acid or NiCd) quickly. Until now, achieving this
task under varying depths of discharge and load conditions has not been possible without excessive risk of overcharging.
More deeply discharged batteries, for example, require longer duration boost charging. This paper describes a battery
charger control system that dynamically adjusts, for each recharge cycle, the transition point between float and boost modes
to achieve minimum practical recharge time, while also achieving desirable low risk of overcharge. By employing more data

± Testing conducted to determine the battery and battery charger short-circuit current contributions on a
DC distribution system.
Bill Gunther, Senior Research Engineer, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Consultant
This paper describes short-circuit tests conducted at Brookhaven National Laboratory for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission on three vented lead-acid battery strings of 12 cells (24 volt nominal systems) and each of two 24 volt battery
chargers (a controlled ferroresonant and an SCR design). The tests compared the battery and charger responses individually
and when connected in parallel, the configuration most commonly used in safety related DC power distribution systems at
U.S. nuclear power plants and in other power system DC distribution systems that provide a backup power function. The
paper also discusses how test results may provide empirical data to support improvements to industry standards that
offer guidance on DC system short circuit characteristics and electrical protection design, and to the NRC's oversight of
DC distribution system protection coordination.

Garth Corey, Chair (Energy Storage Systems Consultant), Dan Borneo (Sandia National Laboratories), John Buchanan (Ecoult), Jim McDowall (SAFT America, Inc.), Rick Winter (UniEnergy Technologies)
Electricity no longer has to be consumed immediately upon generation; that is becoming the new paradigm as
renewablescontinue to expand on the grid and generation is not always able to follow load demands. With the emergence of
advanced battery technologies, applications are being identified to take advantage of the benefits of these new technologies.
Although this panel will not be discussing ESS technology, it will discuss those technologies that are capable of managing the
applications identified during the session. Prior Battcon focus has been primarily on UPS with little attention to other energy
storage applications. This panel will take the focus off UPS and address the rest of the energy storage world. Please bring
your energy storage applications of interest to the panel for discussion.

± Lead-acid batteries are not going away. A technical comparison between lead-acid and lithium-ion
batteries.
Michael Schiemann, Technical Director, BAE Batterien GmbH
Several papers have been presented over the past several years on the qualities of lithium-ion batteries for various
applications, including standby power. This paper will look at the advantages and disadvantages of both the lead-acid and
lithium-ion technologies and examine the places where the authors believe each technology can play an important role.
± One size doesn’t fit all: Lithium-ion technology choices for standby applications.
Jim McDowall, Business Development Manager, Transportation, Telecom & Grid Division, Saft America, Inc.
There is growing interest in the deployment of lithium-ion batteries in traditional standby applications. Making a proper
assessment of the suitability of such batteries is filled with complexity, however. This paper outlines the pros and cons of the
different lithium-ion technologies for UPS, telecom outside plant, and utility switchgear applications, and provides guidance
on system design for successful operation.
± Fire risks from lithium-ion batteries: Navigating evolving regulations.
Nicolas Ponchaut, Managing Engineer, Exponent
In most industries, fire safety is addressed by following guidelines set forth by nationally recognized standards, such as those
issued by the National Fire Protection Association. However, in the lithium-ion battery industry, the vast majority of existing
standards and safety certifications are only intended to address the cell and pack level. However, cell level safety standards
cannot completely assess system safety. Several methodologies, such as fault trees, HAZOPS, and What If analysis can be
used as a framework for a hazard assessment. These methods rely on engineering and scientific tools, such as testing,
analysis or computational simulations to evaluate specific fire or failure scenarios. This paper presents a brief overview of
the current state of regulations and standards for industries that use lithium-ion batteries. Common methodologies used for
hazards assessments will also be discussed.
± Discussion on lithium iron phosphate batteries used for IDC's, compared with VRLA batteries.
Shouzhong (Clause) Yi, Chief Technical Officer, Shenzhen Center Power Tech Co., Ltd.
Compared with VRLA batteries, LFP batteries possess some outstanding advantages, such as small volume, light weight, high
discharge power, fast charge, and very long service life. For big UPS's in IDCs, where large quantities of batteries are needed,
LFP batteries could replace VRLA batteries. When the backup time of the UPS is short, LFP batteries can be as economical as
their VRLA battery counterparts.

± Ageing evaluation of lead-acid batteries used in off-grid photovoltaic systems.
Vitor Arioli, Electrical Engineer, CPqD, Centre for Research and Development in Telecommunications
The lead-acid battery is the technology widely used in off-grid PV systems, mainly the automotive and deep cycle types. This
paper presents the main degradation phenomena in lead acid batteries used in PV (sulfation, stratification, corrosion, and
active mass degradation) laboratory tests that induce the main degradations, and the results of tests on OPzS batteries from
two manufacturers in 14 different groups.

± Market advancement of NiMH batteries for stationary applications.
Mike Zelinsky, Business Development Manager, BASF Battery Materials - Ovonic
Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery technology offers significant promise as a stationary energy storage solution. However,
until recently, little has been seen in the way of tangible products for stationary applications. 2015 witnessed the launch of
a unique new NiMH battery-based backup power system for small cells as well as the successful completion of a two year
field test of a 2MW NiMH battery system on the Washington, DC Metrorail. This presentation will review NiMH attributes and
compare results of side-by-side testing with VRLA and NiCd batteries under GR-3168 recommended protocols. Attendees will
be also be introduced to the designs and performance capabilities of the small cell power system and the substation-scale
battery system mentioned above.
± The value of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in microgrids.
Eric Gallant, Director of Business Development, GS Battery USA
The annual U.S. energy storage market will near 1.7 gigawatts by 2020 and have a value of $2.5 billion. This remarkable
growth will be driven by new power and energy applications for batteries. One key to the emerging energy storage market is
the increasing maturity of the microgrid as a means of providing value to power producers and consumers. This paper will
discuss the role of battery based energy storage systems (BESS) in the successful development of microgrid projects. The
benefits provided by batteries in microgrids include increased energy security, improved power quality, and access to smart,
agile energy management strategies. These benefits will be explained and examples of successful battery projects will
be cited.

GET READY FOR...
BATTCON 2017
SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE
AT BATTCON
The Battcon 2017 Call for Papers opens
September 1st.
We encourage early paper submissions!
Battcon is the leading venue for sharing your battery knowledge and
experience with your peers, and next year’s Battcon makes it easy to
do. For 2017, the presenter of a paper at Battcon will receive a 50%
discount off the base price of attending the conference. Battcon is
the ideal place for sharing techniques, methods, and findings with
colleagues in the industry.
Conference papers address manufacturing, maintenance, application,
usage, testing, and other technical issues as they relate to battery
systems and the DC system. Delivering a paper at Battcon is an
opportunity to share your knowledge. We welcome abstracts and
papers from first time presenters.
If you have a topic that’s original, not commercial, and addresses
the interests of Battcon attendees, send in a two or three paragraph
abstract describing the paper’s main points and conclusions. Upon
acceptance, submit your final paper.
Acceptance of abstracts and papers starts on September 1st.
Contact Jennifer Stryker at jennifer.stryker@alber.com or Jack Mack,
Battcon Publications.
BATTCON,
BE A PART OF IT!
Presenters who deliver papers at Battcon receive a 50% discount off
the conference base price. If there are two presenters for a paper,
only one receives a discount. All papers are reviewed before selections
are made. Discount is applied after presentation. Each group of
presentations is followed by a Q&A session.
You may submit an abstract on any battery related topic. We
encourage you to present at next year’s Battcon conference.

THE 2017 BATTCON TRADE SHOW
Orlando, Florida
Every year, record numbers of Battcon conference and trade show
attendees give vendors even more opportunities to demonstrate
products and offer solutions. Take this opportunity to promote your
company to the select Battcon audience by reserving a single or double
booth at next year's Battcon.
A booth at the Battcon Trade Show just may be your best marketing
decision. As an exhibitor, you’ll promote your products and services
to a tightly targeted audience and increase your visibility within the
stationary battery community.
You’ll reach professionals and decision makers in the data center,
UPS, power station, telecom, utility, healthcare, petroleum and
nuclear industries who maintain mission critical operations, plus
battery maintenance specialists from service companies, and those
in education, government, and the military. Attendees are users,
contractors, consultants, service and sales reps, and manufacturers
eager to learn about your latest products, technologies and services.
HAVE A BOOTH. BE A SPONSOR.
Battcon sponsorship promotes your company within the stationary
battery industry and substantially increases your business prospects.
Sponsorship also draws extra attention to your trade show booth. And,
if you don’t have a booth, sponsorship is a great way to get the visibility
you need at Battcon.
Battcon gives you the flexibility to choose from a wide range of
sponsorship levels. All sponsorships include a Proud Sponsor sign
at your booth and your logo displayed throughout the conference.
Although the core conference is noncommercial, a variety of
sponsorships are available for the trade show, breaks, receptions, golf,
and conference materials. All sponsorships are subject to availability.
