Smart EV Battery Swapping Station with Thermal Runaway Prevention & Active BMS
Miniature automated 3-bay EV battery swapping kiosk with contact cooling, RFID user authentication, cell balancing telemetry, and cloud billing integration.
Project Overview
A working desktop demonstration model of an EV battery exchange station equipped with 3 independent charging slots, DS18B20 thermal probes, INA219 current/voltage monitors, RC522 RFID authenticator, ESP32 master controller, and automated servo locking arms. ### Real-World Problem EV adoption is slowed by long charging times and safety hazards from overheating battery packs during high-rate charging. ### Practical Student Solution Provides instant 30-second battery swaps while continuously assessing battery state-of-health (SoH) and preventing thermal runaway via active cooling interlocks. ### Hardware Modules & Sensors - ESP32 Master Controller - 3x Battery Bay Docks - RC522 RFID Module - INA219 Current Sensors - DS18B20 Temp Probes - SG90 Servo Locks - 16x2 I2C LCD ### Commercial & Institutional Value Extremely popular for Electrical & Mechatronics capstone projects and smart mobility competitions.
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 Smart EV Battery Swapping Station with Thermal Runaway Prevention & Active BMS.
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.
