INTRODUCTION
Electric vehicles have now hit the road worldwide and are slowly growing in numbers. Apart
from environmental benefits electric vehicles have also proven helpful in reducing cost of travel
by replacing fuel by electricity which is way cheaper. However electric vehicles have 2 major
disadvantages:

Long charging time – 1-3 hours required for charging

Non availability of power for charging stations in off city and remote areas.

Well, here we develop an EV charging system that solves both these problems with a unique
innovative solution. This EV charging system delivers following benefits:

Wireless charging of vehicles without any wires

No need to stop for charging, vehicle charges while moving

Solar power for keeping the charging system going

No external power supply needed

Coils integrated in road to avoid wear and tear

The system makes use of a solar panel, battery, transformer, regulator circuitry, copper coils, AC
to DC converter, at mega controller and LCD display to develop the system. The system
demonstrates how electric vehicles can be charged while moving on road, eliminating the need to
stop for charging.

The solar panel is used to power the battery through a charge controller. The battery is charged
and stores dc power. The DC power now needs to be converted to AC for transmission. For this
purpose, we here use a transformer.

The power is converted to AC using transformer and the regulated using regulator circuitry. This
power is now used to power the copper coils that are used for wireless energy transmission. A
copper coil is also mounted underneath the electric vehicle. When the vehicle is driven over the
coil’s energy is transmitted from the transmitter coil to ev coil. Please note the energy is still DC
current that is induced into this coil. Now we convert this to DC again so that it can be used to
charge the EV battery. We use AC to DC conversion circuitry to convert it back to DC current.
Now we also measure the input voltage using an at mega microcontroller and display this on an
LCD display. Thus, the system demonstrates a solar powered wireless charging system for
electric vehicle that can be integrated in the road

SOLAR PANEL
A solar cell panel, solar electric panel, photo-voltaic (PV) module, PV panel or solar panel is
an assembly of photovoltaic solar cells mounted in a (usually rectangular) frame, and a neatly
organised collection of PV panels is called a photovoltaic system or solar array. Solar panels
capture sunlight as a source of radiant energy, which is converted into electric energy in the
form of direct current (DC) electricity. Arrays of a photovoltaic system can be used to generate
solar electricity that supplies electrical equipment directly, or feeds power back into an
alternate current (AC) grid via an inverter system.

Main Features: -

Solar panels are those devices which are used to absorb the sun's rays and convert them into
electricity or heat. Description: A solar panel is actually a collection of solar (or photovoltaic)
cells, which can be used to generate electricity through photovoltaic effect.
LCD DISPLAY
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen is an electronic display module and find a wide
range of applications. A 16x2 LCD display is very basic module and is very commonly
used in various devices and circuits. These modules are preferred over seven segments
and other multi segment LEDs.

16*2 display:
-
A 16x2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line and there are 2 such lines. In this
LCD each character is displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix. The 16 x 2 intelligent alphanumeric
dot matrix display is capable of displaying 224 different characters and symbols. This
LCD has two registers, namely, Command and Data.

COPPER WINDING COIL

copper is not only known as the most common material for coil wire, but is also
used in the production of printed circuit boards. Copper coil is commonly used in
general plumbing, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) industry. It is
a durable, reliable and economical material with good electrical conductivity
amongst other metals. Coil, in an electric circuit, one or more turns, usually
roughly circular or cylindrical, of current-carrying wire designed to produce a
magnetic field or to provide electrical resistance or inductance; in the latter case, a
coil is also called a choke coil (see also inductance).

BLDC MOTOR & WHEEL


A brushless DC electric motor, also known as an electronically commutated motor,
is a synchronous motor using a direct current (DC) electric power supply. It uses
an electronic controller to switch DC currents to the motor windings producing
magnetic fields which effectively rotate in space and which the permanent magnet
rotor follows. The controller adjusts the phase and amplitude of the DC current
pulses to control the speed and torque of the motor. This control system is an
alternative to the mechanical commutator (brushes) used in many conventional
electric motors. The construction of a brushless motor system is typically similar to
a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), but can also be a switched
reluctance motor, or an induction (asynchronous) motor. They may also use
neodymium magnets and be outrunners (the stator is surrounded by the rotor), in
runners (the rotor is surrounded by the stator), or axial (the rotor and stator are flat
and parallel).

Main Applications:
 Brushless motors fulfill many functions originally performed by brushed DC
motors, but cost and control complexity prevent brushless motors from
replacing brushed motors completely in the lowest-cost areas.
 Nevertheless, brushless motors have come to dominate many applications,
particularly devices such as computer hard drives and CD/DVD players.
 Small cooling fans in electronic equipment are powered exclusively by
brushless motors.
 They can be found in cordless power tools where the increased efficiency of
the motor leads to longer periods of use before the battery needs to be
charged.
 Low speed, low power brushless motors are used in direct-drive turntables
for gramophone

NODE MCU
NodeMCU is an open-source firmware for which open source prototyping board designs are
available. The name "NodeMCU" combines "node" and "MCU" (micro- controller
unit). The term "NodeMCU" strictly speaking refers to the firmware rather than
the associated development kits

NodeMCU was created shortly after the ESP8266 came out. On December 30,
2013, Espressif Systems began production of the ESP8266.[12] NodeMCU started on 13
Oct 2014, when Hong committed the first file of nodemcu-firmware to GitHub.[13] Two
months later, the project expanded to include an open-hardware platform when developer
Huang R committed the gerber file of an ESP8266 board, named devkit v0.9.[14] Later that
month, Tuan PM ported MQTT client library from Contiki to the ESP8266 SoC
platform,[15] and committed to NodeMCU project, then NodeMCU was able to support the
MQTT IoT protocol, using Lua to access the MQTT broker. Another important update
was
made on 30 Jan 2015, when Devsaurus ported the u8glib to the NodeMCU
project,[17] enabling NodeMCU to easily drive LCD, Screen, OLED, even VGA displays.

ESP8266 Arduino Core

As [Link] began developing new MCU boards based on non-AVR processors like the
ARM/SAM MCU and used in the Arduino Due, they needed to modify the Arduino IDE
so that it would be relatively easy to change the IDE to support alternate toolchains to
allow Arduino C/C++ to be compiled for these new processors. They did this with the
introduction of the Board Manager and the SAM Core. A "core" is the collection of
software components required by the Board Manager and the Arduino IDE to compile an
Arduino C/C++ source file for the target MCU's machine language. Some ESP8266
enthusiasts developed an Arduino core for the ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC, popularly called the
"ESP8266 Core for the Arduino IDE".[18] This has become a leading software
development platform for the various ESP8266-based modules and development boards,
including NodeMCU.
