Industrial implementation of a smart controller for electric vehicle chargers

Abstract

Number of electric vehicles is increasing day by day. Many users have home chargers to charge their vehicles. Nowadays, remote control of chargers by mobile applications is getting more attention. So this project aims to control an AC electric vehicle charger with a mobile application. Electricity price is changing within the day based on the nationwide total electricity demand. The cost of electricity might be cheaper at night in comparison to daytime, due to lower electricity consumption during night hours. Therefore, with this project, users can charge their vehicles in a selected time interval due to eco-time charging feature.
