Abstract
This project focuses on the integration of a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor into an E-Solar Cycle to enhance its power generation efficiency. The aim is to design and implement a sustainable transportation solution that harnesses solar energy to supplement the electric power generated by the BLDC motor, thereby extending the cycle’s range and reducing its dependence on external charging sources. A BLDC motor is used as the propulsion in the suggested system, which benefits from its high efficiency, low maintenance needs, and ability to precisely control speed. The integration of solar panels into the cycle’s design allows for the continuous generation of electric power during daylight hours, complementing the BLDC motor’s energy consumption and extending the cycle’s operational range. The methodology involves the design and fabrication of the E-Solar Cycle, including the selection and integration of components such as the BLDC motor, solar panels, battery system, and control electronics. The BLDC motor is interfaced with a motor controller, which regulates its speed and torque based on input from the cycle’s rider. Experimental testing and performance evaluation are conducted to assess the efficiency, reliability, and practicality of the E-Solar Cycle system under real-world conditions. Parameters such as energy consumption, range, charging time, and overall system efficiency are measured and analysed to validate the effectiveness of the integrated BLDC motor and solar power generation components. The outcome of this project is expected to be a functional E-Solar Cycle prototype capable of sustainable and efficient transportation through the integration of BLDC motor propulsion and solar power generation. The system’s ability to harness renewable energy sources for propulsion contributes to reducing carbon emissions and promoting environmentally friendly transportation solutions. Furthermore, the project provides insights into the feasibility and scalability of integrating.
