“…Many literature is available on bonding renewable sources with electric vehicles. Incorporating solar energy as one of the energy source for electric vehicles and their economic impacts were studied in [16] and [17]. A correlative analysis study of a solar assisted three-wheeled rickshaw with various drive trains of hybrid configurations was carried out in [18].…”

The revolution in the electrification of conventional vehicles due to increased petroleum prices and environmental concerns has had its impact on three-wheeler vehicles as well. Motorized three-wheeled vehicles, known as Auto-rickshaws, are a standard mode of transportation in India. Existing battery operated electric rickshaws (known as E-rickshaws) available in major cities of India faces challenges like insufficient charging facility, low driving range, high battery cost, battery replacement/disposal, etc. A battery-ultracapacitor (UC) hybrid energy source is proposed in this paper to overcome these issues. Two energy sources of complementary characteristics, when operated in tandem, can enhance the overall performance of a vehicle in terms of weight, volume, and efficiency. An Erickshaw with battery-UC hybrid energy sources is modeled in Matlab-Simulink in this paper. The vehicle dynamics are calculated real-time based using a GPS based PerformanceBox tool of VBOX motorsport for Surat city. A fuzzy logic-based approach was employed for efficient energy management between these two sources with efficient utilization of regenerative power generated while braking. The system was later tested on Real-Time Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) environment to validate the simulation results. It was observed that the addition of an additional source with complementary characteristics had enhanced the performance of vehicle operation.

“…Electrification of public transport, in combination with electricity production from renewable energy sources, is an essential part of improving the environmental profile of a public transportation system [33]. This can be carried out by utilizing different technological solutions such as bus trolleys, electric buses, trams, and railways [34][35][36], as well as localized modes of public transport like electric tuk-tuk [37,38], electric scooters [39], electric rickshaws [10,40], and e-jeepneys [6,41].…”

Electrification of public utility vehicles plays a vital role in the transition towards a more sustainable transport system. However, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) encounters varying challenges ranging from financing issues, government policies, and public acceptance. Using the Philippines as a case, this research applies political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental (PESTLE) analysis to determine how different drivers affect the adoption of EVs in the public transport system from various transport stakeholders’ vantage points. Survey results identified economic and technological factors as the main barriers to the adoption of electric public transport. This includes high investment and operational costs, lack of charging infrastructure, issues in driving range and use in different terrains, and the availability of EV parts and repair stations. On the other hand, the main enabler is the significant public support for the modernization of the public transport system through EVs, backed up by policy and legal drivers. For a zero-emission public transport system, this study recommends that the government should invest in sustainable sources of energy, develop more public infrastructure, diversify the transport sector, fund the development of locally made EVs, and initiate a massive information campaign in educating the public of its advantages.

The most basic electrical machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is synchronous machines. Synchronous machines can be operated at high speeds and low speeds for different power plants. In terms of system planning, it is important to examine the operating characteristics of the machine at idle and variable load conditions in these cycles. It is very important that generators, which are the basic components of turbines in power plants, have high efficiency when they are designed. While synchronous generators are being designed, many parameters that are compatible with each other must be arranged in an appropriate way. The efficiency of generators can vary greatly by changing very important parameters in the design. In this study, the analysis, design and analysis of the characteristic parameters of a synchronous generator are carried out with the ANSYS-Maxwell-Rmxprt integrated design and simulation program based on Finite Element Method (FEM). In this paper, parameters such as efficiency, induced voltage, phase currents and voltages and output torque of a three-phase synchronous machine were obtained depending on the electrical angle change.
