Design and development of new charge controller for GPS tracker for electric vehicles

Abstract

This investigation introduces a new charge controller for GPS trackers, with the objective of offering long-lasting and efficient tracking solutions. The article emphasizes the widespread use of GPS trackers in various sectors, as well as the critical need for sustainable power sources to maintain their effectiveness. The charge controller ensures optimal performance and durability by meticulously choosing components. Experimental investigations confirm the efficacy of the charge controller to deliver a steady power supply to the GPS tracker. The integration of GPS technology with solar PV charging allows for continuous monitoring. The results show that the solar photovoltaic (PV) system reached a peak output voltage of 10 V, ensuring that the battery remained at a stable level of 12.4 V and continually providing the GPS tracker with a steady 5 V. These findings validate the system's capacity to deliver dependable and enduring electricity, signifying notable progress in remote monitoring, asset tracking, and fleet management.
