Comprehensive Analysis of Solar-Powered Electric Carts

This study proposes an innovative way to reduce transportation's negative environmental effects by combining electric automobile technology with solar-powered electric golf carts. Our approach improves operating effectiveness and lowers greenhouse gas emissions by utilizing advances in lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), battery management systems (BMS), and other related technologies. Methodologically, it highlights the function of the charger in power source transitions together with other important parts such as the motor controller, MPPT boost converters, and solar power circuit. The design features are validated by MATLAB Simulink simulations, which also demonstrate performance attributes including torque production, speed, and energy efficiency under different driving circumstances. Specifically, peak line voltage, torque, and velocity are seen during the acceleration stages of the FTP-75 driving cycle, and equivalent drops are observed during deceleration. This approach promotes effectiveness, viability, and ecological responsibility in the design and operation of electric golf carts by combining cutting-edge technologies, such as lithium-ion batteries, solar panels, and PMSMs. This presents a sustainable transportation option that has the potential to redefine the industry.
