Nowadays, we are
experiencing an electricity scarcity we are experiencing a Lead in shortage
too. So the battery manufacturing cost and resulting end user prices are sky
high also a shortage of batteries in the market. We are also experiencing a
hike in fuel prices considerably, is bound to go on as time pass by as soon we
will be shortage of fuel too. There is an emphasis on using fuel appreciably
but nobody is taking care of it.
But we are at least
taking the consideration of it and with this we are trying to put a novel
concept in the market.Government is also promoting the use of renewable energy
in each of every operation. The biggest option to replace the conventional
theory of fuel operation, can be replaced by the battery based theory, is
environment friendly too.The only problem associated with the battery based
technique is it needs to be recharged and the charging time is considerable
high.
So it can’t replace
the fuel completely, if we are thinking of using the battery based vehicle for
conveyance. The other problem associated with the battery vehicle is the
battery weight takes the maximum weight of the total weight of the vehicle.
So it needs to be
reduced because it directly affects the performance of the vehicle. As due to
more weight its mileage will be on shorter side due to maximum weight, if we
reduce the weight the mileage will improve many folds easily in one charge.
The fact is the
battery charging is done using the electricity so in all sense we are using
electricity. We are eliminating these necessities to some extend, As in our
vehicle we are using the solar energy for operation as we are blessed with at
least 300 days a total sunlight.
And we are using the
Capacitor as a source of storage of charge rather than the battery, this in
effect will reduce the dead weight of the vehicle and reduce the weight of the
vehicle considerably and improve the performance but we are not using the
battery so we are using the solar panel to power the motor used in the vehicle
and the capacitor bank as a source of temporary storage. We will have a system
which will continuously scan the capacitor bank and charging the capacitor bank
and the charge is discharged into the motor directly. As the charge is stored
momentarily the wattage requirement reduces considerably and yielding a better
result.
The unique feature of
the vehicle is being solar operated system, but it does not use battery to
supply the motor, instead it uses capacitor banks there are four different
capacitor banks used in this system, where there banks are switched one by one
using the high frequency switching through the microcontroller.
Many specifications must to know
about solar car from solar array , motor, capacitor bank and so on each
specification has theory and calculation to mate it function correctly &
able to move perfectly. The most important things id\s the capacitor bank
because before this there is no solar car driven by a capacitor bank. This
project a lot depends on capacitor bank because it using influence if the solar
car can drive or not.
Using brain storming techniques to
generate ideas , several initial design may be consider a common place to start
is with the shape of the car since it will dictate the design of many other
system initial designing concept are also developed for chassis design
mechanical system design electric system design, driving train design&
solar array design that show promise are
investigated further so that design can
be compare through trade of studies the concept must be eliminated until a
final design can be agreed upon there are many factors to consider to each
design, for example:
Weight,Efficiency and Speed
Basically research about capacitor
bank to drive a solar car was a something new. Success do not depends on
question that will answer it later from the research this research is carried
out to get an answer for the question as follows.
a) How to build a solar car with capacitor
bank? In this research author will built a proto type to improve the fact.
b) How a capacitor bank can drive a solar car?
Connection between capacitor bank and motor is important thing.
Knowledge about solar
array also important because the array is made up of many photovoltaic solar
cell that convert sun energy into electricity .the cell types & the
dimensions of the array depends on the
vehicle size and class.
More over knowledge
about drive train in solar car is very different from that a conventional car.
Throw this project the drive trains consist of electric motor & the means
by which the motor power is transmitted to the vehicle to move.
This project is to
design a solar capacitor bank powered vehicle with objective as follows:
a) To design use photovoltaic source of power.
b) To fabricate & assemble a working proto
type model.
This project is more
focus on solar capacitor bank powered vehicle. The scope of this project is as
follows:
a) Selection of solar panel.
b) Selection of capacitor bank.
c) Selection of chassis, selection of motor
etc.
