Hybrid Solar And Wind Powered Electric Vehicle Using Sepic Converter

This project proposes a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) system which can resolve the major troubles of pollution. Wind and solar are the commonly used renewable energy resources. Nowadays hybrid electric vehicles (HEVS) are energized by an internal combustion engine with the combination of one or more electric motors which use energy stored in batteries. To charge the battery, a HEV cannot plug in to off board sources of electricity. As an alternative, regenerative braking and the internal combustion engine are used by the vehicle to charge. Hence the proposed system can reduce fossil fuel use, decrease pollution, and allow renewable energy sources for transportation. Energy from both the resources is given to the dc-dc converter. Dc shunt generators are used in windmills to switch mechanical to electrical energy also avoids the usage of inverter. the SEPIC, operating as a dc-dc buck-boost converter are used so that it can bring the output in a specified level. to control the duty ratio, incremental cmductance(INC) based maximum power point tracking(MPPT) is utilized. The system also includes a battery which is used to store the energy generated from both the sources. The performance of the proposed system is analyzed using MATLAB/SIMULINK platform.
