Electric Compressor System with Real Time Battery Monitoring

Abstract

Garbage trucks are an essential part of waste management, but conventional diesel-powered compression systems are a source of noise pollution, high fuel usage, and environmental degradation. Switching to electric compression systems provides a more efficient and environmentally friendly option by lowering fuel dependence, reducing noise, and enhance energy efficiency. One of the primary building blocks in this system is the Battery Monitoring System (BMS) that constantly monitors battery data like temperature, voltage, and current. Powered by an STM32 microcontroller, the BMS facilitates real-time observation and power distribution management for maximum efficiency, avoiding overcharging, overheating, and deep discharge. Apart from promoting battery life and system longevity, this cuts long-term expenses and ensures greater vehicle reliability. Installing an electric compressor system with a BMS greatly improves garbage truck efficiency while enabling cleaner and more sustainable waste management.  As cities become more environmentally conscious, electric waste management systems are crucial in curbing pollution and encouraging energy-efficient urban infrastructure.
