IoT Based Electrical Vehicle Battery Management System with Charge Monitoring and Fire Protection
Abstract
The IoT-based Electrical Vehicle Battery and Fire Protection Management System work focuses on developing a comprehensive safety and monitoring system for Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries. Utilizing a microcontroller, the system integrates various sensors and continuously monitor the health and performance of the EV battery. Key components include a voltage sensor for tracking battery voltage levels, and a DS18B20 temperature sensor to monitor the battery temperature. A Battery Management System (BMS) is a critical component in electric vehicles (EVs) and other battery powered systems. It monitors and controls the operation of the battery pack, ensuring its optimal performance, safety, and longevity. Cooling equipment is also integrated to help cool the battery when temperatures rise above safe levels. A buzzer provides an audible alert for the user in case of any critical conditions. Using latest wireless technologies, sensor data will be sent to the IOT platforms like ThingSpeak application. The system displays real-time data on an LCD screen, offering an interface for monitoring battery conditions. By ensuring timely detection of critical issues such as overheating, this system enhances the safety and reliability of electric vehicle batteries, preventing potential fire hazards and maximizing the battery’s lifespan.
