| Sikandar Ijaz, Sami Ullah, Ramish Ahmad, Muhammad Saad | BS | Design and development of solar charging system for Electric Vehicle Renewable energy is a kind of energy that is obtained through different resources such as sunlight, wind energy, tides, geothermal etc. It provides clean energy that comes from natural sources which can be replenished continuously. The utilization of more amount of renewable energy will lower the prices of and demand for fossil fuels. Solar photovoltaic energy is predominantly used for many applications like heating, cooking and power generation. Recent inventions helped in developing vehicles that are driven by solar energy. In this thesis, the design and development of a solar charging system for electric vehicles using a charge controller is discussed. Implementation of the proposed system will reduce the electricity cost and charging and discharging losses. Also, the proposed solar charging system will be one of the initiatives taken to achieve Green campus. This thesis has demonstrated the system design and performance analysis of a solar-charged electrical vehicle system. | 2024 |
