Abstract

Electric scooters rely on batteries to power BLDC motors, which are traditionally recharged through the household electricity grid. However, alternatives like solar energy are being explored to reduce dependency on conventional power sources. A challenge arises due to the discrepancy in voltage compatibility between standard solar panels and scooter batteries. Typically, a 36 V scooter battery requires a higher voltage input than the 18 V output of a single solar panel. This requires modifications to align solar cell design with battery voltage requirements. This study implements a PZEM-015 sensor for monitoring battery energy consumption. The contribution of this study is twofold: to develop and optimise solar cell modification for effective battery charging and to assess battery consumption concerning speed and travel duration. Testing reveals that a series circuit modification yields an average voltage of 39.2 V and an average current of 0.55 A, resulting in 21.8 Wp of power output. Analysis of scooter performance indicates that maintaining speeds between 4.16 m/s and 5.55 m/s significantly extends travel time and conserves battery energy. These findings highlight the potential of modified solar PV in enhancing electric scooter efficiency and sustainability.

Abstract

This study investigates the application of the Internet of Things (IoT) for wireless control and monitoring of a 3-phase electric motor using a smartphone. The system integrates PZEM-004T, DS18B20, and Hall Effect sensors to collect data on voltage, current, temperature, and rotational speed using the NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller. Measurements are displayed on an LCD and transmitted to the Blynk server for smartphone access. A comparative method evaluates the accuracy of sensor readings against standard measuring instruments. Results obtained an average percentage error of 0.5% for the R phase voltage, 0.2% for the S phase, and 0.1% for the T phase. Current measurements reveal errors of 5% for the R phase, 10.3% for the S phase, and 11.7% for the T phase. The control system’s performance varies with internet speed, with an average delay of 0.99 seconds on a 4G network and 2.51 seconds on 3G. Additionally, the study evaluates three protection mechanisms, demonstrating that the motor stops within 4.03 seconds in the event of a phase failure, while overcurrent and overheating protections activate within 8.47 seconds and 3.64 seconds, respectively. Overall, the findings affirm the viability of IoT in motor monitoring and control, emphasizing accuracy and response times under varying conditions.
