A comprehensive investigation of the design of solar-powered induction motor-driven electric vehicle (SIM-EV)

Abstract

Most of the working professionals used four-wheel vehicles and the IC engine-based vehicle generated more pollution and harmed the environment huge, Electric vehicles became a wide interest of the riders, and the result of it researchers attraction towards the efficient and economic electrified, pollution-free vehicle design and trying to remove the limitations. However, the charging stations required to charge the battery in-housed the vehicle to run the DC motor-based prime mover but the pieces of literature elaborated better performance in terms of cost and efficiency robustness as well as low maintenance Induction motor than DC motor as a prime mover. The photovoltaic-based charging can help to overcome the grid-connected charging station. This paper is a comprehensive investigation of the solar-powered induction motor-driven electric vehicle (SIM-EV). Where a photovoltaic rooftop is used to energize the storage battery and a 3Φ induction motor as a prime mover are incorporated to improve electric vehicle's overall performance. Case study of a mathematical model for 3Φ induction motor presented and discussion of the design of the charging device which includes converter as a major part of the electric vehicle, here converter designed and the observation of speed using MATLAB simulation result of induction motor. And the investigation-based study shall help to understand the opportunity standalone solar-powered induction motor-driven electric vehicle (SIM-EV) in the form of passenger cars and know the limitation.
