The idea was to identify patterns and flag unexpected power usage, which could point to hardware issues or operational anomalies.</p> <p>The project involved:</p> <ul> <li>Processing charging session data using <strong>pandas</strong> </li> <li>Visualizing consumption with <strong>Matplotlib</strong> </li> <li>Applying a simple <strong>peak detection</strong> method to find spikes</li> </ul> <p>The approach is lightweight but effective, and can be applied to other types of sensor or energy data as well.</p> <p>👉 <a href="https://medium.com/@sriram1105.m/how-i-used-python-and-time-series-data-to-detect-energy-spikes-from-ev-chargers-bc90a8da35bc" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read the full article on Medium</a></p> <p>Would love to hear thoughts, suggestions, or similar projects you’ve worked on!</p> python datascience timeseries programming
