This calls for an effective battery monitoring system, that can predict the life of a battery with respect to the load connected, and accounts for battery degradation over time. Therefore we intend to create a real time battery monitoring system that will be able to provide the user with the constant state of charge of their battery, time till empty if run on current load and the degradation occurring to the battery over time as a function of its internal resistance and change in time taken for charging to the same value. The system we describe below, works on the principle of impedance racking, which is a more advance take on traditional coulomb counting method for battery state of charge estimation. The system uses open circuit voltage(OCV) readings and coulomb counting to predict that state of charge of a battery, its battery life and degradation factors. Lastly, the data are displayed through the serial communication port of the Microcontroller used, which can be extended to small LCD screens or a web interface. We hope our system will enable the user to utilize the energy stored effectively, replace batteries timely, and reduce cost of replacement effectively.

Here, we analyse using redox flow battery(RFB) in EVs’ in combination with a novel method of electrical energy transportation and storage. Suitability of RFB for use in the same is examined in comparison to Li-ion battery. Taking India as an example, financial viability analysis is done using budget allocated for the Green corridor project as a benchmark. The combined solution facilitates EV adoption, grid support initiatives and absorption of RE. While energy density of RFB electrolyte has increased significantly the simultaneous increase in viscosity is the major challenge in establishing the system proposed. The analysis demonstrates the need for focused research into developing low viscosity RFB electrolytes to attain the full potential of the technology.
