Powerful Efficient Affordable Connected Easy

PEACE Project

Our Project

With the goal of solving the issue of portable electricity, our group's vision was to create a rugged power bank to be installed in a camper or trailer. The PEACE project is a system designed to charge a 12V car battery using a solar panel. In between this process is a ESP32 capable of providing a 98% charge efficiency algorithm, as well as a WiFi and Bluetooth Enabled mobile app, allowing for data analytics and tracking battery capacity. Tying everything together is the custom made printed circuit board, capable of a 30A output, and allowing for up to an 80V solar panel. To maximize durability and sustain thermal dissipation, We designed our own custom 12’x12’ enclosure to protect internals. Once fully charged, the PEACE project can supply up to 120 Amp-Hours of charge.

MQQT Telemetry

Remote data collection is handled over the Wi-Fi interface with the MQTT protocol. The MQTT server is hosted at the SolarBank datacenter and is maintained by our network engineering department. The datacenter also supports the Node-Red data parsing and visualization server. The Node-Red server subscribes to the Peace Projects MQTT topics and parses received data in order to display it visually on a web browser interface. MQTT topics being published are Enclosure Temperature, Battery Charge Level, and input and output power, voltage and current readings.
