“…So it is necessary to increase battery capacity in, accordance, to the concept of battery autonomy for smooth working of the solar powered electric vehicle. 13,14 Table 2 shows variable statistics of solar power-operated vehicle. According to Table 2, we took 5100 observations of solar radiation and wind velocity through the pyrheliometer and anemometer, respectively, and assess those data by regression software and find out modes of frequency and lower and higher value of each observation.…”

Summary Today's vehicle will consume high amounts of gas and produce exhaust, which is harmful to the environment. An increasing ecological awareness and the shortage of fossil fuel resources are strong motivation to develop more efficient vehicles, with no fuel consumption but without reducing driving comfort. The research work reported in the paper shows the profoundness of design and assessment of solar powered e‐rickshaw at the location with latitude of 22.75° at Indore, India. The works at macro level include pre‐feasibility assessment through analysis of 8760‐hour solar radiation and wind velocity. Duration of project is analysed by the critical path method, and vehicle cost is optimized by three different optimization techniques such as grasshopper, krill herd, and cuckoo optimization techniques. At the end, regression analysis shows the validation of cost‐optimized results. Result of profitability analysis of location of Indore shown by 5100 observation and frequency mode of solar radiation, clearness index, and temperature by 2 827 662, 1 341 397, and 13 413 557. In the modelling of solar‐powered electric vehicle system, 0.75‐KW motor is required to run a vehicle, which is powered by 500‐W solar panel, and energy is stored in 23‐Ah battery.

This paper explains a full design and implementation process of a feasible solar car as an effective alternative to the gasoline powered car. A solar car is independent of fossil fuels, and would entirely eliminate emissions. Comparing to the previous manufactured solar cars which were characterized by expensive, one seat driver and unfeasible, the presented solution in this study develops a commercially feasible version of a solar car. The structure's mass and passengers' mass are considered to calculate the required electrical power for the car to be able to reach the target speed at 100 km/h. A three photovoltaic panels of 320 W are parallel connected as a photovoltaic array to charge a lithium ion battery bank of 48 V and 200 Ah during the day hours. The testing of the implemented car guarantees the successful and flexible design and promises an effective commercial prototype of solar car. The presented work is done in the American University of Ras Al Khaimah.

“…The ehybrid vehicle contains the solar module, wind turbine, battery bank, PMDC motor, diesel engine, charging unit, accelerator, speed control rheostat, step-down transformer, rectifier, MMPT and another controlling unit. The Ac power supply source is used when sunlight is absent due to weather conditions; supply is used to charge the batteries during standstill condition of the vehicle [1]. When sunlight is present the PV module convert the solar radiation into electricity which is used to charge the batteries in both condition i.e standstill and running conditions.…”

This paper proposes an eHybrid Vehicle system which helps to increase the overall efficiency of the system and also optimizes the energy cost by using the renewable source of energy like wind, solar radiation. Current major problem in an automobile systems is an environmental pollution which is directly related to the fossil fuel. In this paper, new hybrid vehicle is proposed which less is dependent on the diesel engine and more dependent on the solar power, AC power supply, and wind energy in an emergency conditions. The proposed vehicle is multi charging vehicle which charged by a diesel engine, Ac power supply, solar cell, the wind and also has the most feasible solar/electric/wind/diesel power generation system mounted on the vehicle to charge the battery bank during requirement. Diesel engine used in the vehicle works in two modes. In the first mode, it charges the battery with the help of DC generator and charging control unit, and on another side its shaft is directly connected to the gear box to drive the vehicle, through by bypass hole system. Engine work in this mode,when all batteries are not in a condition to provide the power to the vehicle for a drive. In the second mode, the diesel engine only charges the batteries. It is done when there is no sun or electric power supply. In these situations these sources act as an auxiliary energy sources and the system depends upon the diesel engine and charged power of the AC supply. The techniques used in this vehicle increases the running efficiency and reduces the running cost of the vehicle. The system consists of solar module, wind turbine, battery bank, PMDC motor, diesel engine, charging unit, accelerator, speed control rheostat, step-down transformer, rectifier, MMPT and other parts which are required for the vehicle. Experimental results are shown to confirm the theoretical analysis.
