The Real-Time Battery Monitoring System is designed to effectively obtain real-time battery data, estimate battery life, and monitor charging and discharging times using machine learning, IoT devices, and applications. The system consolidates all relevant data and displays it in a user-friendly interface. This project aims to provide accurate and actionable insights into battery performance, ensuring optimal usage and longevity.
- Real-Time Data Acquisition: Continuously collect battery data using IoT sensors.
- Battery Life Estimation: Utilize machine learning algorithms to predict battery life based on historical and real-time data.
- Charging and Discharging Monitoring: Track and estimate charging and discharging times accurately.
- User Interface: Display all collected data and insights through an intuitive and interactive UI.
The system architecture is divided into three main components:
-
IoT Devices:
- Sensors and microcontrollers to collect battery data.
- Communication modules to transmit data to the server.
-
Backend:
- Flask server to receive and process data.
- Machine learning models for estimating battery life and monitoring charging/discharging times.
- Database to store historical and real-time data.
-
Frontend:
- Web application to display data, graphs, and insights.
- Interactive UI designed using Figma (design available here).
- Programming Languages: Python, JavaScript
- IoT Devices: Arduino, Raspberry Pi
- Machine Learning: Scikit-learn, TensorFlow
- Backend: Flask
- Database: MySQL, MongoDB
- Frontend: React, HTML, CSS
- Design Tools: Figma
