world first solar car for human (project) CHENDHURAN ENGINEERING COLLEGE SOLAR CAR (FINAL YEAR PROJECT DEPARTMENT OF EEE)
To encourage the use of clean and green environment, a vehicle energized by solar power is developed. Instead of diesel engine, a 500W/36V Permanent Magnet Brushless DC motor is used, solar energy is converted into electrical energy using 36V, 150W PV panel. To provide a continuous operation, the batteries are charged from solar power and EB supply. For economic reason, the 12V-20AH lead-acid batteries are used and they are connected in series to increase the voltage rating, capacity and the mileage of vehicle. The 3ɸ voltage source inverter is used for converting the battery output to 3ɸ ac voltage to energize the Permanent Magnet Brushless DC motor. The voltage source inverter comprises of 6-N channel MOSFET. The gating signal for MOSFET is given from the motor controller. The closed loop path is provided by motor controller by comparing the Hall Effect sensors signals on the accelerator and motor. This control the acceleration and deceleration of the motor.
