Electrical Power System Design of Solar Electric Vehicle

The trend of using renewable sources is gaining importance due to clean and inexhaustible properties. Among various natural resources, photovoltaic systems are commonly used. Here design and development of electric power System of an electric solar vehicle is presented. In this system the solar electrical vehicle can be able to use as a local power source. This can be facilitated by means of a DC-DC-AC converter. SEPIC and H-bridge inverters are used for this purpose. This solar vehicle is equipped with a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) system that ensures that the solar photovoltaic system is delivering maximum power to the load. Thus, the proposed system can help in reducing the usage of power from the grid and can able to reduce the pollution to a great extent. The proposed system will improve the utilization of renewable power production and also ensure efficient usage of the available energy. The project aims to develop a MATLAB simulation and a hardware model of electrical power system of solar vehicle.
