SOLAR AND WIND POWERED HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Abstract: Due to scarcity of fossil fuel in future and its detrimental effect on the environment, an alternative energy has to be discovered. Wind power is clean and sustainable natural resources that has yet to be fully utilized in the automotive industry. Also, the sun is probably the most important source of renewable energy available today. The hybrid system has been designed and installed to generate power which combines wind turbine and solar panel. The hybrid model system is renewable energy system, which helps conserve energy by reducing the use of fuel in vehicle. Hence developing a new method for the economical evaluation of Hybrid Systems for electricity production. This project proposes a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) system which can resolve the major troubles of pollution. Wind and solar are the commonly used renewable energy resources. Nowadays hybrid electric vehicles (HEVS) are energized by an internal combustion engine with the combination of one or more electric motors which use energy stored in batteries. To charge the battery, a HEV cannot plug in to off board sources of electricity. As an alternative, regenerative braking and the internal combustion engine are used by the vehicle to charge. Hence the proposed system can reduce fossil fuel use, decrease pollution, and allow renewable energy sources for transportation.
