This work is part of a research project on electric vehicle recharge management initiated by our industrial partner RVE enterprise. Multi-unit buildings or multi-dwellings have specific requirements in terms of electrical energy capacity. The electrical installations of these buildings are sized to meet the needs of the buildings at the time of their construction. This is why electrical installations do not necessarily provide a large safety margin for future needs. Therefore, the addition of charging stations poses a challenge in maintaining this leeway. Especially since the capacity available for each unit of a multi-dwelling is generally lower than that of a single-family house. It is thus necessary to measure and control the transfer of power between the main switchboards and the electric vehicles so as not to exceed the allowed maximum capacity.
The IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) approach is adopted to manage and monitor charging stations. Our work proposes a management tool based on an IIoT gateway implementing the MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) and LoRa (Long Range) protocols for sampling the powers transferred in real time. The interaction between the management tool and the gateway is carried out using the MQTT protocol. A number of tests were performed to validate the operation and performance of the tool. The results obtained demonstrated that the designed management tool is capable of performing remote communication and can be used with asynchronous events generated by the measurement system in a multi-dwelling setting.
