Abstract


The project aims to create a Smart Inverter Battery Management System (IBMS) with an Internet of Things (IoT) device. This device sends information to Blynk, a cloud-based platform, updating users about their home inverter on their smartphones in real-time. The IBMS is focused on improving solar power production and remote storage mechanisms, encouraging greener energy habits. The Blynk mobile application allows users to manage their power consumption based on battery voltage capacity. The central processor is an ESP32 Development Board comprising an ESP32 microchip for WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity and a SIM800L module for GSM/GPRS communication. Smart grids could incorporate the IBMS, potentially transforming renewable energy management. Studies indicate that IoT with voltage and current sensors enhances inverters as eco-friendly power sources.
