As energy demand increases in Australia, the importance of ensuring the reliability and safety of critical assets for utility providers becomes paramount. The new Australian Standard AS4044:2024, effective from November 15, 2024, offers asset owners a comprehensive framework to ensure compliance and safeguard investments in battery chargers and VRLA batteries. The updated standard introduces guidelines tailored for Australian environmental conditions, emphasizing compatibility with modern rectifiers and chargers, battery charge current control, and updated cable color standards. It also stresses compliance with EMC standards. Century Yuasa, a prominent provider of industrial power solutions, confirms compliance with AS4044:2024 for their Intelepower Systems, ensuring optimal performance, safety, and reliability. Ventilation of battery rooms is highlighted as critical for maintaining DC Power Systems safely, with strict hydrogen concentration standards outlined in AS3011.2 and AS2676.2. Failure to comply with ventilation standards can lead to risks like insufficient ventilation, gas pocket formation, maintenance hazards, and hydrogen release under fault conditions. Century Yuasa emphasizes the importance of adhering to natural ventilation principles to eliminate such risks. With a strong focus on compliance, safety, and innovation, Century Yuasa stands ready to assist asset owners in meeting AS4044:2024 and ventilation standards.
