Experimental platform for measuring DC parameters in Smart Grid Systems

Energy produced by thermal, nuclear, hydropower plants needs to be stored somewhere to avoid energy loss and additional financial costs. The case is that the power plants produce more energy than is required. Batteries store this excess energy for future use, depending on the requirements of the network. Battery systems are an expensive component and should be continuously monitored. The proposed monitoring system is an experimental platform that will monitor parameters such as current, voltage, and temperature across the batteries. Such a system should be small, low-cost, user-friendly, satisfy the customer's requirements, and be capable of obtaining precise and accurate measurements.
