Abstract

Egypt's Vision 2030 revolves around green energy and the facilitation of Egypt's massive unhabituated remote and urban landmass. Such areas lack the infrastructure to support modern life, such as energy grids, so simple things like charging your electronic devices (E-devices) i.e. Mobile phone, laptop, Tablets become a hassle. In this project; by building a mobile green energy source, all beneficiaries will be capable of charging the area's residents' electronics with minimum overhead cost and environmental effect. Leveraging solar panels provides a consistent energy source in a mobile charging station for electronic devices. Due to the nature of such a project no required prior infrastructure, hence ease of applicability. Using two solar cells that convert and store light energy into electric energy in the form of both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) are used for charging and running different electrical devices. This station operates under the control of different authentication methods such as face recognition, fingerprint, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Collectively, the three methods aim to control the service for the people meant to get their benefit from it in the needed time. We have developed an integrated software system consisting of web and mobile applications. The goal of that system is to help the administrator monitor the charging-station, and the data coming from the hardware system as a whole, receive alerts if something went wrong, and monitor ports usage.
