ELECTRIC VEHICLE UNIFIED WITH WIND AND SOLAR POWER

Abstract

The global energy crisis and escalating pollution from vehicle emissions pose critical challenges, compelling a shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) as an eco- friendly remedy. Despite their environmental advantages, EVs confront a hurdle in extended charging durations. To combat this, the concept of onboard charging has been explored, where EVs autonomously generate and store electricity. This paper introduces a hybrid model harmonizing solar and wind energies to propel EVs, utilizing the vehicle's battery as a storage unit for surplus energy. Integrating both renewable sources enables continuous energy production, addressing the intermittent nature of solar and wind power. The system strategically prioritizes solar charging during daylight hours and switches to wind charging at night, optimizing energy utilization. Simultaneous usage of both sources enhances overall efficiency. This hybrid system ensures a reliable, sustainable charging solution, reducing dependence on conventional grids and curbing greenhouse gas emissions. The amalgamation of renewable energies into the transportation sector aligns with the global transition towards cleaner and sustainable energy practices. In summary, this hybrid model presents a pragmatic solution to the energy crisis and vehicle emissions, contributing to a greener and more sustainable transportation landscape.
