Sodium Nickel Chloride Battery Performance in a Stationary Application

Abstract

This study focuses on the backup power requirements of telecommunications operations that are representative of many stationary power storage applications across the utility spectrum. The study evaluated the performance of a Zebra NaNiCl2 battery at Southern California Edison's (SCE) Electric Vehicle Technical Center (EVTC). EVTC's experience with backup power systems, battery expertise, and ISO 9001:2000-registration uniquely qualifies the organization for the project. The Zebra NaNiCl2 battery under the telecommunication test protocols produces encouraging results over ambient temperatures ranging from -20degC, to 75degC
