Abstract
The growing need for more sustainable transportation options has placed hybrid solar electric vehicles, or HSEVs, at the top of the energy-efficient mobility innovation scenario. This introduces an advanced model of an HSEV with a high-efficiency electric motor, photovoltaic power generation systems, and regenerative braking systems to address major technological challenges in energy management and emission reduction. The model features a dual-battery configuration intended to enhance energy efficiency, with one battery supplying power to the motor and the other recharging via solar panels and regenerative braking mechanisms. The proposed system controls energy flow dynamically by utilizing real-time control algorithms that target constant performance under any conditions of driving. With solar as a green source of energy, the dependency on grid-based charging has been very much reduced, and chances of successful long-term operation of HSEVs in an urban and rural environment have increased manifold. The regenerative braking system further increases efficiency by converting kinetic energy during deceleration into electrical energy stored in the secondary battery for use afterwards. The simulation results also indicated a 15 percent improvement in energy efficiency and a 25 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions than conventional configurations of electric vehicles. The dual-battery setup and the adaptive energy control significantly enhance battery lifespan and operational reliability. This research describes the potential of HSEVs toward environmental sustainability and energy efficiency.
