Design and Application of a Cyber Physical Based Data Logger System for Charging Stations

The rapid advancement of technology, particularly in transportation, has led to a growing public interest in electric vehicles. Government support, exemplified by Presidential Regulation No. 55 of 2019, further encourages this shift. With more electric vehicles on the road, the need for adequate charging infrastructure is critical. This research aims to design, test, and implement a charging device that records electric vehicle usage, displays data on an LCD, and allows monitoring through a website. Using the research and development (R&D) method, a highly effective design was developed. The data recording system employs the PZEM-004T sensor and ESP32 microcontroller to send data to a database. Validation tests showed high accuracy and precision, with current accuracy at 98.79% and precision at 99.24%, and voltage accuracy at 99.59% and precision at 99.87%. The device was installed in the basement of UPT TIK UNS and tested with three electric vehicles, each with different power requirements. The average power growth every ten minutes was 0.063 kWh for the first vehicle, 0.164 kWh for the second, and 0.139 kWh for the third. These results demonstrate that the device functions well, the design is successful, and it provides consistent, accurate, and precise energy growth measurements.
