Battery Condition Prognostic System using IoT in Smart Microgrids

Abstract

This paper presents an idea to share the battery condition monitoring parameters among the stakeholders like manufacturer, market dealers, users etc. by using latest Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Upon accessing such parameters, corrective actions can be taken to improve the battery life. By placing sensors on the battery, which can send the battery parameter data over internet to cloud database. This database can be accessed by manufacturer, dealers and users to monitor the health condition of battery. This will help to enhance the efficient use of battery and improve the life. Also, it can track the number of batteries in use with usage profile. The hardware prototype of the proposed system has been developed and tested with a lead acid SMF battery. The Mean Square Error (MSE) of the measured quantities are with in acceptable limits.
