Modelling and Simulation of Solar Powered Hybrid Electric Vehicle

Due to increase in the use of the vehicles the harmful gases are released into the environment which result in increase of pollution. So, replacing the IC vehicle is the challenging to today's world. Electric vehicle is the alternative for IC vehicles but as it cannot travel to long distance the solar Powered hybrid electric are the best to replace the electric vehicle. The solar powered hybrid electric vehicle works on both the solar energy and the energy which is stored in the battery. This paper discusses about the simulation of the solar powered hybrid vehicle in which the solar energy which is extracted depends upon different parameters. In this the solar panel use the MPPT technique which extract the maximum power and the power extracted is given to boost up and drives the motor. The SIMULINK model is based on the mathematical equation. In this DC-DC converter is used to boost up and then fed to SRM.
