MOTIVATION Desire to work with Solar Technology Interested in transportation project Environmental conservation interests Have an excuse to drive a golf cart to and from campus
4
CURRENT METHODOLOGY (TESLA SUPERCHARGER) ►Electric car using charge stations ►Cost: $62,400 (1,170 for Vehicle Dock) ►Super Charge station incorporate PV cells (Separate Assembly)
5
CURRENT METHODOLOGY (UCF ZENN) ►Zero Emission No Noise ►Electric Car modified with a PV array ►Cost: $15,995 (just car, no integrated PV hookup) ►Range of 35 Miles
6
OBJECTIVES Electric vehicle Powered solely by photovoltaic cells Able to charge while driving Vehicle drive modes to control performance Performance mode Balanced mode Eco mode Clearly display vehicle information to user Use a simple User Interface to allow users to manipulate the vehicle
7
SPECIFICATIONS Cart can reach top speeds in excess of 10 miles per hour Considered normal for this model cart Cart will have parallel charging circuits Vehicle load capacity of 700lbs (including passengers and all components) Charge from no energy in 6 hours during optimal sunlight exposure [Stretch Goal]
8
SPECIFICATION CONT. Rear panel adjustable with 80º of freedom to optimize solar energy collection Optimization system that suggests best panel angle to within 5º User Interface Displays current drive mode (Performance, Balanced, Eco Boost) Display energy absorption rate in watts to nearest watt Battery charge percentage accurate to nearest whole percent Stretch Goals: Display current maximum range in miles +/- 1 mile Display speed in mph to nearest 1/10 th of a mile
9
GOALS/SPECIFICATIONS OF DRIVE MODE All drive modes have emergency shutoff to protect cart components Drive ModePerformanceBalancedEco Boost TuningFavors SpeedBehaves NormallyFavors Range RequirementsCart is able to surpass factory restricted top speed Vehicle operates within standard factory settings Cart is able to surpass factory specified top range Performance Targets (Stretch Goals) Cart can go in excess of 14 mph Cart can travel more than 25 miles between charges Cart travels as long as possible past 25 miles between charges Intended Design settings Vehicle uses both battery and solar panel output to maximize speed and acceleration Cart combines panels and a single battery bank to achieve normal drive speeds Single panel and battery bank work in series to drive cart, 2 nd panel charges secondary batteries
