IoT-based wireless charging of electric cars (SEAWALL)
This project studies electric cars with wireless charging and IoT (Internet of Things). The goal is to optimize charging while reducing power quality issues.
Electric cars can be designed to also act as a vehicle-to-grid source of energy, thus counteracting imbalances between consumption and production. This could facilitate the introduction of renewable energy sources. There are now technologies for wireless charging of electric cars.
IoT (Internet of Things) refers to the network of objects that have embedded sensors, software and other technologies to connect and transmit data to other objects and systems through the Internet.
The objectives of this project are:
- To improve the management of energy between the electric cars in a parking lot, the DC microgrid, and the standard AC grid using IoT technologies.
- To develop tools to optimize the operation of the wireless charging points and to reduce the power quality problems caused by the EVs. Predictions based on charging habits and energy price estimates will be used.
- Using IoT, distributed computing and deep learning for power quality monitoring, classification of events, calculation of statistical measures, etc.
