I. INTRODUCTION

The market for electric vehicles (EV’s) is emerging where

the interest is higher than ever before (Office of Energy

Effic iency & Renewable Energy, 2016) [1]. The global

act ivity concerning EV’s is increasing due to the strive of

reducing greenhouse gases (NASA, 2016), as well as car

batteries are getting more efficient than before The EV’s on

the market are today charged with a cord that is plugged into

the car. The negative aspects with the cord is that it reacts

badly to altering weather and air temperatures, as well as if

forgetting to plug -in; the car will be powerless.

As the number of EV is increasing day by day on the other

hand charging demand also increases . H ence , the charging

infrastructure as well as efficient Inductive Power Transfer

(IPT) need to developed to meet such requirement for

sub stantial operation of the EVs. For instance, in [2] the

United States (US), and Bhutan has taken initiative to build

cha rging stations in different regions to provide easy charging

services and promote the growth of electric vehicles.

The installation of charging stations will add burden on the

power grid, and the high charging loads of fast EV cha rging

stations will degr ade the distribution network and its

operating parameters . The uncoordinated charging of EV’s

will degrade the voltage profile, peak load during EV

charging and some of the harmonic distortions. Delayed

Charging also provides some consequences similar to

uncontrolled Charging.

In the industrial automation human -machine interaction plays

an important role, the user interface is the process where

interaction betw een humans and machines takes place [ 2].

The major goal of user machine interaction in human mach ine

interface is effective operation of machine and easy control of

machine and feedback/status of operations from the machine

which signals the operator to make different operational

decisions accordingly.

In other words, The HMI gives easy way to intera ct with

machine by using its instruction coding language and get our

work done by machine. It also provides how hardware and

software systems can be designed to expand the human

control. HMI products are developed to make machine

operation easy, by produci ng optimal outputs. Before HMI

was introduced it include the Batch Interface, Command Line

User Interface, and the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for

industrial automation applications, which is used nowadays in

HMI display panels to make user friendly sys tem.

HMI control panels of any system includes

(1) The pushbuttons and control buttons

(2) The data handler

(3) Different LED’s and light indicator .

This paper mainly focus on building graphical user interface

for electric vehicle charging station. Many approaches to

build GUI is discussed in later section. Final i mplementation

is carried using Code Composer S tudio IDE and hardware kit

from Texas Instruments. This Graphical User Interface

provides basic operation required to charge EV with different

optio ns for charging or payment to the user. Moreover this

application can be further used with mobile application to

book the charging slot or search for free charging station

nearby etc.
