Abstract With the increased trends of industrialization and global economic growth leading to the everchanging petrol prices and other price hikes, private transport system has become a costly affair. All these problems can be addressed with innovation. One of the most feasible solutions is turning towards renewable energies to solve the issues i.e., increasing the use of renewable energies like solar power in the place of fossil fuels. Everyone’s dream of owning a commercially viable solar vehicle is slowly becoming a reality. Electric vehicles are now available at an affordable price. This opportunity is taken towards the design of a Solar powered two-wheeler. Designing a solar vehicle is a multidisciplinary subject that covers the broad and complex aspects from various subjects. In the designed vehicle, solar panel is used as the power source and developed voltage, stored in the battery, is used to the drive the permanent magnet DC motor which drives the rear wheel of the vehicle.

The Paper is focused to give the design requirements of SPPHEV (Solar Powered Plug in Hybrid Electric vehicle), which is one of the solution to reduce the air pollution. As transportation in India is mainly dependent on Fossil fuels to drive the vehicle. Installation of Solar panels on the roof top of Electric vehicle is proposed in this paper which helps to adopt the full range electric vehicles in near future. The proposed model is solar powered PHEV (SPPHEV) in which the vehicle battery gets charged with multiple energy sources specifically Power from Photo voltaic (PV), Grid power, Regenerative power and Engine power. Vehicle Control Unit is designed to standardize the flow of power from the energy sources available and also to monitor SOC (State of Charge) of the battery.

Two Wheeler

The Automobile industry across the globe is witnessing a transition. The United Nation’s Convention on Climate change 2015, has set tall orders for all the countries to reduce the carbon imprint to save the globe. Transportation sector accounts for 70% of the use of the fossil fuels world over. So the countries across the globe are shifting to Electric Vehicles for mobility. India has initiated Policy measures prescribed by NITI AYOG the think tank of India to convert to 100% Electric vehicles by 2030. The Indian Automobile market is dominated by two wheelers which accounts for nearly 80% of the total market share for vehicles in India. The Electric revolution therefore has to begin with and be geared by the Two wheelers automotive market. This article explores whether the Indian market is prepared for the electrical transition on two wheels. Although the Electric two wheelers are beset with several limitations the thrust is on reducing CO2 emissions and also to reduce the dependence on the fossil fuel imports. This paper consolidates the present Eco system for the Electric Two wheelers market in India and the road ahead. The study throws light on all the aspects relating to manufacturing and development of the ecosystem for E- Two wheelers. The article analyses whether there is awareness among public about the need to switch over to electric two wheelers to mitigate the effects of pollution. It analyses the factors that could influence the decision of purchasing electric two wheelers. The study also tries to identify the features that the electric vehicle users look for in the new electric models. This study is most relevant in the sunrise sector of electric vehicles which have made debut in the Indian market in 2015 only. The study gains significance because the Electric two wheeler market in India is in infancy and this study will throw some light on the market reaction to the E- revolution

By transforming patterns of travel and work around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating the transition to renewable energy and the decline of fossil fuels. Lockdowns brought car commuting and plane travel to a near halt, and the mass experiment in which white-collar employees have been working from home may permanently reduce energy consumption for business travel. Renewable energy and electric vehicles were already gaining market share before the pandemic. Under pressure from investors, major energy companies have started writing off fossil fuel reserves as stranded assets that are no longer worth the cost of extracting. These shifts may indicate that “peak oil demand” has arrived earlier than expected.

To improve handling and stability for distributed drive electric vehicles (DDEV), the study on four wheel steering (4WS) systems can improve the vehicle driving performance through enhancing the tracking capability to desired vehicle state. Most previous controllers are either a large amount of calculation, or requires a lot of experimental data, these are relatively time-consuming and laborious. According to the front and rear wheel steering angle of DDEV can be distributed independently, a novel controller named internal model controller with fractional-order filter (IMC-FOF) for 4WS systems is proposed and studied in this paper. The IMC-FOF is designed using the internal model control theory and compared with IMC and PID controller. The influence of time constant and fractional-order parameters which is optimized using quantum genetic algorithms (QGA) on tracking ability of vehicle state are also analyzed. Using a production vehicle as an example, the simulation is performed combining Matlab/Simulink and CarSim. The comparison results indicated that the proposed controller presents performance to distribute the front and rear wheel steering angle for ensuring better tracking capability to desired vehicle state, meanwhile it possesses strong robustness.

The fossil fuels that power conventional desalination systems cause substantial environmental impact. Solar desalination can satisfy critical water needs with only a minimal contribution to global warming. The current work presents an attractive new design suitable for regions with limited water resources and high solar radiation rates. This work is an experimental study of a newly designed, solar-powered, multi-stage flash (MSF) desalination plant. The design could address the need to increase the limited water resources in solar energy-rich areas. The prototype consists of a solar collector, an MSF unit, and a novel dual thermal storage tank design. In this prototype, preheated brine is directly heated by circulation through the solar collector. Two tanks serve the MSF unit; one tank feeds the MSF unit while the other receives the preheated feed water. The two tanks alternate roles every 24 h. The study was conducted in Taif, Saudi Arabia, throughout the month of September 2020. The results of the experiment showed that 1.92 square meters of solar collector area is needed for an average daily production of 19.7 kg of fresh water, at a cost of approximately $0.015 per liter.

Abstract This work is targeted to design an economical and self-reliant solar-powered battery charging scheme for light electric vehicles (LEV’s). The single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) is utilized to enhance the performance of solar power and battery charging at various solar irradiances. Various unique attributes of a SEPIC converter offer the effective charging arrangement for a self-reliant off-board charging system. Further, the continuous conduction mode (CCM) function of the converter minimizes the elementary stress and keeps to maintain the minimum ripples in solar output parameters. A novel maximum power point tracking (MPPT) approach executed in the designed system requires only the battery current to track the maximum power point (MPP) at various weather situations. Both the simulated and real-time behaviors of the developed scheme are examined utilizing a battery pack of 24 V and 100 Ah ratings. These responses verify the appropriateness of the designed system for an efficient off-board charging system for LEV’s.
