EV Charging Load Scheduler and Smart Socket
Smart AC Level-2 EV charger socket managing grid load peak-shaving and time-of-use tariff scheduling.
Project Overview
Prevents residential transformer overload during peak hours. Communicates with EV vehicle chargers via PWM pilot signals to adjust charging currents based on real-time household electricity demand. ### Practical Student Engineering Solution Fully functional hardware demonstration prototype equipped with dedicated microcontrollers, precision sensors, actuators, and an interactive cloud/mobile telemetry dashboard. ### Key Learning Outcomes - Embedded C / MicroPython firmware architecture and sensor interfacing - IoT telemetry protocols (MQTT / HTTP / BLE / LoRaWAN) - Power regulation, hardware debugging, and PCB design principles - Comprehensive technical documentation aligned with IEEE academic standards
Modern commercial and industrial infrastructure requires automated, real-time sensing and telemetry. Conventional manual monitoring suffers from high latency, human error, and lack of predictive fault visibility for EV Charging Load Scheduler and Smart Socket.
A turnkey engineering prototype integrating high-precision sensor modules, dedicated microcontroller unit, and cloud telemetry protocols to automate measurement, trigger alert thresholds, and provide remote dashboard control.
