Bio

Ms. Prathibha S. Babu is an Assistant Professor(Senior Grade) in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Amritapuri Campus, Kerala, India, and a part-time Ph.D. research scholar in the same discipline. Her research interests include battery energy storage systems, vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs), battery management systems, state-of-charge (SoC) estimation, electrochemical and system-level modelling, artificial intelligence-based estimation, power electronics, renewable energy integration, and energy management.

Her research focuses on modelling and performance evaluation of energy-storage systems, with particular emphasis on flow-aware SoC estimation and system-efficiency enhancement in VRFBs. Her work explores physics-based modelling and data-driven methods, including artificial neural networks and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems, for battery state estimation and operational analysis. She has also contributed to research on lithium-ion battery SoC estimation and cell balancing, grid-interfacing inverters, solar energy applications, and electric-vehicle drive systems.
