Hi guys
I am a 4th year electrical engineering student at an accredited university in Canada
My capstone project is called the virtual battery and the proof of concept is vehicle to grid technology.
We are trying to control a small lithium ion battery (12.8V dc) using a PLC.
Our school has supplied us with a working siemens PLC the main module is
CPU 1214C DC/DC/DC
6ES7 214-1AG31-0XB0
In order for our project to work it is vital that we know the charge of the battery and the power consumed from the battery
My question is what is the best way to finding the charge on the battery and the power consumed by the battery.
Note we need to be able to log the charge and the power consumed as much as possible and our remaining budget is ~300$
Many Thanks
