Eagle Eye University | Battery Data Analysis Course

Eagle Eye University offers a variety of classes throughout the year in battery management, maintenance and testing, data analysis, safety and IEEE recommended best practices. Our students obtain hands on training in each of our courses and receive a certification upon completion. The courses are located at our headquarters in Milwaukee, WI.

Our next course is September 7-8th and will be on battery data analysis. This course will outline each of the steps required to prepare and carry out a discharge test in accordance with IEEE recommended practices. It will include hands on training during which both a constant power capacity discharge and a service discharge using a typical substation load profile will be carried out.

This two-day course will be split up by measurable battery parameters and data analytics. During the first day, the students will learn the importance of discharge testing and the discharge test types. They will discuss operational requirements and perform an initial battery condition assessment, test set up, and discharge test. To end the first day, they will begin learning about data analysis. The second day of the course will continue data analysis, and they will work together to carry out a capacity and service test. Before each hands on test, the stude
nts will be given the load bank to be used for that test. After the tests, the students will calculate the battery capacity based on the results.

Attendees in different industries will leave with a better understanding of battery discharge testing and analysis. The certification the students receive after the completed course can be filed for continuing education units (CEUs).  You can learn more information about the course here, as well as contact us to book your spot.

Importance of Electrolyte Level Monitors Being NERC PRC-005-2 Compliant

One of the most critical roles of utility companies is to ensure the health and protection of their Bulk Electric System (BES). Without proper battery testing and preventative maintenance, the Bulk Electric System is compromised. As a result, utility companies can suffer from significant revenue loss, possible safety hazards for their workers and more. To ensure the negative effects of a compromised system won’t occur, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has been formed to enforce the reliability standards of all battery monitoring and testing equipment. In addition, NERC PRC-005-2 requires utilities worldwide to document and implement programs for the maintenance of all protection systems affecting the reliability of the BES.

To comply with NERC PRC-005-2 guidelines, Eagle Eye has created the ELM- Series Battery Electrolyte Level Monitor for power utilities nationwide. The ELM is a reliable dual sensor system that monitors the electrolyte level and temperature of individual flooded batteries.  The ELM-Series utilizes low-cost, easy to install sensors that will send out an alarm on low electrolyte level, or higher than normal temperature. Our electrolyte level monitor is also designed to monitor any flooded battery system regardless of voltage and amp-hour. Furthermore, this is a 24/7/365 protection for a real time solution for monitoring battery electrolyte and temperature levels.

Our PRC-005-2 Operation and Maintenance Compliance training is designed to include a review of battery maintenance fundamentals, inspection methods both manual and automated, interpretation of the data collected and the required record keeping. This course is intended for all personnel with the responsibility for the implementation and operation of a compliant battery monitoring program.

To learn more about NERC Compliance Solutions, please contact us today or to inquire about our NERC on-site training. You can also request a quote regarding the ELM – Series Battery Electrolyte Level Monitor. 

VIPER Ride Charity Receives Donations from Eagle Eye

Protecting those who have protected us!

Milwaukee, Wisconsin- On Wednesday, June 8^th, Eagle Eye Power Solutions presented a $500 check towards the VIPER Ride charity organization. The check was presented at the House of Harley motorcycle dealership at 6221 W. Layton Ave. in Greenfield, Wisconsin. Dave Carlson, Finance Commander and Nellie Oman, Finance Co-Chair (both pictured above) were able to accept the donation on behalf of their organization.

The word “VIPER” in their organization, stands for Visually Impaired Patriots Experiencing the Road. There are over 132,000 blind veterans across the globe. 22 out of those 132,000 veterans commit suicide every day from depression, as a result of their feelings of isolation from being blind. The VIPER Ride aims to provide those veterans with an opportunity to go on 100+ mile motorcycle rides on Wisconsin’s best cycling roads. The event will bring excitement, joy and liveliness back to the veterans and bring awareness to their cause. Throughout the event, there will be rest stops filled with refreshments and a social event that includes meals and entertainment, sure to be fun for the whole family!  

The VIPER Ride will take place this year on August 21, 2016. Additional donations and volunteers are still greatly needed to reach the organization’s goals. To learn more about the event/organization, or how to volunteer/donate please visit: http://www.theviperride.org/.
