SOLAR CAR-correct report.doc (Size: 50.5 KB / Downloads: 413) SOLAR CAR Abstract A solar car is a light weight, low power vehicle designed and built with a single purpose in mind - racing or "raycing", a combination of "race" and "ray" from the sun. It has limited seating (one or two people) and cargo capacity, can only be driven during the day and does not represent a practical means of transportation. It does, however, offer an excellent opportunity to develop future technologies that can be applied to practical applications. The car operates by the collection and conversion of sunlight into electricity using solar cells mounted on the vehicle, which is then delivered to the car's batteries or motor. Generally, a car can operate on only 700-1500 watts of power, which is roughly the same amount of power used by a hair drier. With such small amounts of energy available, efficiency is crucial. Aerodynamic drag, weight, and rolling resistance all influence the car's design. The objective of this seminar is to provide a general idea regarding the various components and working of the solar car.

SOLAR CARS
SOLAR CARS.pptx (Size: 56.34 KB / Downloads: 54) WHAT IS A SOLAR CAR? Car which converts solar energy into electricity to provide motive power. Cars depend on PV cells for the energy conversion process. POTENTIAL OF SOLAR CARS Main concern with solar cars currently , is the cost incurred However , the addition of an electric drive component improves the vehicle’s fuel economy. Given this shift , opportunity arises for electricity yo be generated from PV cells. The market potential for green buildings and equipment is expected to touch 40 billion$ by 2012. Mechanical engineering component The frame is deigned to be as minimal as possible. The body needs to provide a large surface area and needs to be aerodynamic . Solar cars are built using military grade carbon fibre donated by aircraft carriers such as Boeing. The body is designed using CAD software. Programming component In order for the driver to know how the battery or array is operating, then a mini-computer (microcontroller) has to read in signals from sensors and display them on a screen in the cockpit. The microcontroller and a software package called LabVIEW are essential to the success of the solar car. LabVIEW basically creates a testing environment for battery management system (BMS). Electronics engineering component Photovoltaic cells have a complex relationship between their operating environment and the maximum power they can produce. For any given set of operational conditions, cells have a single operating point where the values of the current (I) and Voltage (V) of the cell result in a maximum power output.

Solar Cars.pdf (Size: 105.05 KB / Downloads: 41) INTRODUCTION The first solar car invented was a tiny 15-inch vehicle created by William G. Cobb of General Motors. Called the Sun mobile, Cobb showcased the first solar car at the Chicago Powerama convention on August 31, 1955. The solar car was made up 12 selenium photovoltaic cells and a small Pooley electric motor turning a pulley which in turn rotated the rear wheel shaft. The first solar car in history was obviously too small to drive . Now let's jump to 1962 when the first solar car that a person could drive was demonstrated to the public. The International Rectifier Company converted a vintage model 1912 Baker electric car (pictured above) to run on photovoltaic energy in 1958, but they didn't show it until 4 years later. Around 10,640 individual solar cells were mounted to the rooftop of the Baker to help propel it. In 1977, Alabama University professor Ed Passereni built the Bluebird solar car, which was a prototype full scale vehicle. The Bluebird was supposed to move from power created by the photovoltaic cells only without the use of a battery. The Bluebird was exhibited in the Knoxville, TN 1982 World's Fair.Between 1977 and 1980 (the exact dates are not known for sure), at Tokyo Denki University, professor Masaharu Fujita first created a solar bicycle, then a 4-wheel solar car. The car was actually two solar bicycles put together. In 1979 Englishman Alain Freeman invented a solar car (pictured right). He road registered the same vehicle in 1980. The Freeman solar car was a 3-wheeler with a solar panel on the roof. Energy Flow For A Solar Car The energy from the sun strikes the earth throughout the entire day . However, the amount of energy changes due to the time of day, weather conditions, and geographic location. The amount of available solar energy is known as the solar isolation and is most commonly measured in watts per meter squared or W / m 2. In India on a bright sunny day in the early afternoon the solar isolation will be roughly around 1000 W / m 2, but in the mornings, evenings, or when the skies are overcast, the solar isolation will fall towards 0 W / m 2. It must understand how the available isolation changes in order to capture as much of the available energy as possible. The sunlight hits the cells of the solar array, which produces an electrical current. The energy (current) can travel to the batteries for storage; go directly to the motor controller, or a combination of both. The energy sent to the controller is used to power the motor that turns the wheel and makes the car moves. Application • This concept can be utilized to build a single sitter four wheel vehicles in practice. • It can be extended to more commercial form of four wheeler vehicle. |
