Configure Generator Battery Health Report/Export

NOTE: Generator Battery Health Export is based on the same data as the Generator Battery Health Report. The export version provides the raw data in CSV file format. The export file can be imported by other systems, such as Energy Operation.

CAUTION

inaccurate data results

● Do not incorrectly configure the software or the devices.
● Do not base your maintenance or service actions solely on messages and information displayed by the software.
● Do not rely solely on software messages and reports to determine if the system is functioning correctly or meeting all applicable standards and requirements.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

 

To configure the Generator Battery Health Report/Export:

  1. Set up the monitoring device that records the generator battery voltage in PME. See Set up the Generator Battery Health monitoring device for details.
  2. Create a Generator in the Generator Performance Configuration Tool with EPSS Test Module, and define, at a minimum, the following fields for this Generator:

    • Name - Enter a name for the generator.
    • Electrical Data - Select the Source of the electrical measurement data for the generator. Enter the generator Nameplate Rating and select the Unit.
    • Status Measurements - Select the Source of the generator Status Measurements, and the measurements used to indicate the Running and Stopped states.
    • Battery Waveforms - Select the Battery Waveforms check box. Select the source that is capturing the waveform. Select the measurement recording the waveform, for example V4 Waveform.

  3. (Optional) Repeat step 2 to add additional generators.
  4. Create a Group in the Generator Performance Configuration Tool with EPSS Test Module, and define, at a minimum, the following fields for this Group:

    • Name - Enter a name for the group.
    • Generators - Select the Generators you created in step 2.

  5. Open the report template in the Reports Web Application, set the report input parameters, and generate the report.

NOTE: The groups you create with the Generator Performance Configuration Tool are available for selection as inputs to the Generator Battery Health Report. All Generators that are defined in a group are included in the report when that group is selected. You have the option to exclude generators in a group from a report by selecting this option in the report inputs section.
