The O&M benefits of continuous battery monitoring

Continuous battery monitoring will help utilities offer substantial operations and maintenance (O&M) benefits, reduce compliance costs and cut the risk of human error. Compliance with North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) standards require bearings be tested every four months, but the advance in Internet-of-things (IOT) sensors allows utilities to continuously monitor systems, reducing costs as well as increasing the reliability of back-up power systems.
