Design and Experiment on Zinc-air Battery Continuous Power Controller Based on Microcontroller

Abstract

The Zinc-air batteries continuous power generation which is designed by our task group realizes the discharge of zinc electrode in motion and solves the problem of self-discharge of Zinc-air battery. Zinc-air battery continuous power generation control system is designed in this paper to realize the automatic operation of the Zinc-air batteries continuous power generation and improve the generation efficiency of Zinc-air batteries continuous power generation. The design of the device is based on the combination of mechanical power system and electrical control technology.this paper use PIC16F877A microcontroller as the control core and the main electrical equipment of Zinc-air battery for continuous power generation devices (analog acquisition equipment and stepper motor) with electrical control technology is analysed. The design ideas in software is modular design. Software control flow chart for stepper motors and analog acquisition is drawn. This paper is tested on controller, Result of test shows that the controller is able to meet the control requirements of continuous power plant and verify the feasibility of the controller.
