Development of an Electric Vehicle (EV) Powered by Solar Energy

The conventional fuel run vehicle is the biggest reason for the hazardous particles emitted in our modern world. For that we are trying to shift into a renewable source of energy for running the vehicles. Fuel cell electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and electric vehicles are some of the alternatives. An electric vehicle (EV) develops with one or more electric motors for running and powered by an electrical energy source. This paper represents the usage of a solar energy system to power up the electric vehicle. Solar energy is the energy from radiant light and heat of the Sun converted to electric energy. Electric vehicles are not a new concept the first time introduced within the middle of the 19th century. In this project, a fast and power-efficient charger has been designed for a BLDC motor-driven electric vehicle where a dc battery is a feed by both conventional power source as MES and PV cells as RES. The feature components are - charge controller, rechargeable battery, power converter system, solar panel system, and Brushless DC Motor, and the circuits designed severally applying PSIM software. In this paper, we mainly focus on two things, shift into a renewable source of energy for the vehicle, and usage of solar energy to power up the electric vehicle.

传统燃油汽车是当代全球有害颗粒物排放的最主要来源。为此，我们正致力于将车辆动力转换为可再生能源。燃料电池电动汽车、混合动力电动汽车与纯电动汽车便是此类替代方案之一。电动汽车（Electric Vehicle, EV）指搭载一台或多台电动机驱动车辆，并以电能作为动力来源的车型。本研究探讨了利用太阳能系统为电动汽车供电的方案。太阳能即通过将太阳的辐射光与热能转化为电能的能源形式。电动汽车并非全新概念，其首次亮相可追溯至19世纪中叶。本项目针对由无刷直流（Brushless DC, BLDC）电机驱动的电动汽车设计了一款快速且高能效的充电器，其直流电池可通过常规市电电源（MES）与作为可再生能源源的光伏电池（RES）共同供电。该系统的核心组件包括充电控制器、可充电电池、功率转换系统、光伏面板系统以及无刷直流电机，所有电路均通过PSIM软件分别进行设计。本研究主要聚焦两大方向：一是将车辆动力转换为可再生能源，二是利用太阳能为电动汽车供电。
