Abstract
Abstract The paper presents the evaluation of the feasibility of a single-seat solar prototype vehicle for the World Solar Challenge competition, by estimating its autonomy. The research carried out contains several stages of study, including the development of mathematical models that are intended to be accurate enough to provide realistic predictions on the functional behaviour of the battery pack, so that it can be determined whether the designed vehicle will be able to complete the stages of the proposed competition. The paper also presents the CFD modeling approach, and the results obtained after simulating different body shapes advancements. In addition, the functional modeling approach is presented to evaluate the vehicle battery range, including the possibility to use different designs and types for the battery pack and to verify if the designed vehicle can achieve the race finish line.
