Development of EV Charging Pillar with IoT (Smart Energy Meter) Features

This paper presents the development of an Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Pillar integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Smart Energy Meter features. The system aims to address the challenges of EV charging by providing efficient energy consumption, real-time monitoring, and a convenient user experience. The EV Charging Pillar incorporates IoT capabilities, allowing for seamless communication between the charging infrastructure and EVs. This enables real-time data exchange, effective control, and monitoring of the charging process. The Smart Energy Meter feature enhances efficiency through accurate energy measurement, billing, and load balancing. The hardware components include charging sockets, communication modules, and energy meters, interconnected through a central control unit. The software component comprises an IoT platform facilitating data exchange, charging control, and user interaction through a mobile application or web interface. The developed system offers benefits to both EV owners and infrastructure providers, such as convenient access to charging stations, monitoring capabilities, and optimized energy consumption. Infrastructure providers can benefit from centralized monitoring, proactive maintenance, and integration with the grid. The proposed EV Charging Pillar with IoT and Smart Energy Meter features provides a comprehensive solution to enhance the accessibility, efficiency, and reliability of EV charging infrastructure, promoting sustainable transportation systems.
