Battery and Solar Energy Conversion System for Solar Electric Vehicle using A Novel Hybrid Topology

Abstract

The large number of automobiles in use around the world has caused and continues to cause serious problems of environment and
human life. Air pollution, global warming, and the rapid depletion of the earth’s petroleum resources are now serious problems. For solving
these problems, solar electric vehicles (SEVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have been typically proposed to replace conventional
vehicles in the near future. They are high efficient, produces no local pollution, are silent, and can be used for power regulation by the grid
operator. Up to now, SEVs and HEVs have been widely studied to improve vehicle performance. This paper for manage the energy between
photovoltaic (PV) cells, battery and Brushless DC (BLDC) electric motor, proposed a novel topology for SEVs, where using bidirectional
isolated DC-DC converter and boost DC-DC converter for the solar system and battery cells. For analyzing the effects of the proposed
system, all of the components were simulated through MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
