IoT-based Battery Management System for E-Vehicles

Abstract

In today’s modern world electric vehicles are in trend for transportation purposes and it replaces traditional transportation, by making a pollution-free environment. In electric vehicles, different types of batteries like Lithium batteries, Lead-acid batteries, Nickel-Metal batteries, and Solid-state batteries are used. Of these types of batteries, the most preferable is the Lithium battery. Because of its high energy per unit mass and most efficient than other batteries and it can be recycled. In this study, a battery management system is proposed using the Internet of Things. This system comprises of sensors like temperature, voltage, and current which send the signal to the microcontroller and send the data to the cloud-like ThingSpeak. When the data goes to a high level, the alert mail will be sent by ThingSpeak and the place can be located by using the Global Positioning System. The perspective of this paper is to maintain the batteries in the electric vehicle to alert about the performance of the battery.
