ALPAIS BATTERY MONITORING SOFTWARE

In the heart of the Alpais BMS, there is the Alpais Software. Alpais Software is designed to support every solution. This allows one Alpais Software edition to support all solutions. Let’s take a look at the Alpais Software capabilities.

Web-Based, Remote Battery Monitoring User Interface

Alpais Software has a web-based monitoring Interface that provides remote battery monitoring for the user. The user can monitor their batteries on the local network or the internet. Furthermore, the system can be monitored with Cloud Network.

User-Friendly, Colorful Design

Alpais Software is designed as understandable for everyone even if they are battery technicians or lack of knowledge about batteries. With this, if there is a problem the user can understand the status of the batteries.

Various interactive graphical tools for battery status

Alpais Interface has various graphical tools for better insights into battery assets. The interactive boxes present each parameter of the batteries. Along with this, there is a bar graphic presentation of the measurements.

Furthermore, on the reports page, there is a curved graphic to present historical individual battery data to see the trend of battery behavior. It allows us to see the estimation of the battery service life.

1 Single User Interface for Multiple Locations/Control Modules

The brilliant Alpais Software has many remarkable points. One of them is that provides monitoring of multiple locations and/or multiple devices from 1 single User Interface.

With this Alpais ensures full control of the battery assets and makes it without complexity.

Email Notifications for Multiple Users

Alpais Software is responsible for analyzing, presenting, and notifying of the collected data. In the User Interface email settings are managed. Multiple users can be registered for email notifications, with this Alpais eliminates the 1-person responsibility by the systems.

Unlimited Users with Different Authorization Levels

Another great thing here is the user’s authorization levels. With this Alpais gives full control of the system to the company owners. The company owners can determine who can be notified by the system but not change the system details, who can edit the system details, etc.

Multi-language Support for User Interface

Alpais is designed from a global perspective. Thus, along with English and Turkish, Alpais offers some other languages too.

Logs and Charge/Discharge Records

Alpais records the alarm logs automatically, and these records can be exported from the User Interface in PDF/CSV format. Since the importance of how the battery is treated, the system records the number of charge/discharge and its date and duration.

Historical Battery and String Reports in a Desired Period

Alpais collects the battery and string data in 30-second intervals. In this way, the retrospective data of the battery and string can be used to understand the battery trend. Alpais presents these battery reports in the desired period; daily, monthly, and yearly. Battery and string reports can be downloaded in the PDF/CSV format.

Optionally Battery Voltage Balancing Process

Alpais uses a passive balancing method for battery voltage equalization. The hardware edition is pre-installed in every Battery Module. For activating this feature Alpais Software needs an update by the manufacturer. In this way, the system can be upgraded after the first purchase.

Separated User Interface and Services & Installation Interface

This practice is mostly useful for the solution providers for the end users. The battery owners only deal with the User Interface.

Communicates with other monitoring systems like SCADA, DCIM, etc.

We are aware of the market demands, some of the data center and automation system applications users want to use their monitoring systems or 3rd party Building Management Systems. To answer this request, the Control Module supports the SNMP, Modbus, etc. for communication with the other systems.

2-levels of battery alarms

In the Alpais system, there are 2 limits for the battery or the string parameters. For example, for the Internal Resistance, there is an initial IR value (mostly provided by the battery manufacturer), and the first limit is a 30% increase. If a battery reaches a 30% increase the system generates a “Warning” alarm for the user. If the battery reaches a 50% increase from the initial value then the system generates a “Critical” alarm for the user. And, the system sends Emails to the registered email addresses.

Editing Thresholds and Alarm Limits

The User Interface has pages for thresholds and measurement limits for sending alarms. There are adjustable default values for your special applications. For the threshold, the user can set the values for the strings' charging, discharging, float charging, and idle positions.

The user also can change the battery string alarm limits according to their requirements.

Utilizing Dry Contacts for 3rd party sensors

The Control Module has dry contacts for other sensors such as Hydrogen Sensors, Ground Fault Detectors, etc. and they can be utilized in the User Interface.
