Development of Monitoring Device for Battery Charge/Discharge Control as Electrical Energy Storage in Mini-Generating Systems

Abstract

Abstract The battery is one of the crucial elements in an electrical system. In electric vehicles, the batteries used are Li-Ion batteries. Most Li-Ion batteries are also reusable. In addition, waste Li-Ion batteries can be used as electrical energy storage devices, such as in mini-power generation systems. With the existence of several power plants that do not use fossil energy as a means of the production process, it will automatically reduce the impact of environmental pollution. This study uses electric vehicle batteries to be used as storage of electrical energy in a mini-generating system. In its implementation, a control monitoring tool is also made and developed to determine the charging and discharging of the battery. This monitoring system is useful for keeping the battery in great condition.
