Smart Fault Monitoring in EVSE Using Blockchain Technology

The electrical supply equipment for vehicles is prone to disturbances caused by faults in the charging system, such as overloading and short circuits, which can harm to the charging equipment. This can either lead to short-term or long-term damage to the electric equipment. The faults may cause damage to the electric vehicle to which the power is being supplied. The fluctuations in the power supply causes the fluctuations in the output voltage and current which in turn can be damaging for the electric vehicle in the long term. So, a robust monitoring system is needed in the electric vehicle supply equipment so that whenever a fault occurs the technicians who maintain the charging station can take care of the fault. To overcome these kinds of problems, we are going to detect the electric faults like voltage and current faults using hardware and blockchain technologies in our proposed project. A hardware kit consisting of ESP32, Arduino Uno, voltage sensor, OLED display and battery which acts as a fault will be used for the project. A web application based on blockchain using web 3.0 framework will be developed which has inbuilt block chain framework which secures and maintains the data at the backend as fault occurred and fault solved.
