Pavithra Abstract

This document describes a proposed design for a solar electric bicycle that uses a permanent magnet direct current (PMDC) motor. Most solar electric bicycles currently use brushless DC motors, which have some disadvantages like using lead-acid batteries and being less robust. The proposed design would directly utilize solar energy from a solar panel connected to batteries, which would boost the voltage and power the PMDC motor. This would help propel the bicycle and overcome the disadvantages of existing designs by using renewable energy from the solar panel to power the more robust PMDC motor.

ABSTRACT
Solar energy has the greatest potential of all the sources of renewable energy. This paper deal
with an electric bicycle for the surviving bicycles. This bicycle also is known as an e-bike. This
e-bike designed with an incorporated electrical motor, used for propulsion. There are boundless
varieties of e-bikes are available worldwide. This e-bike has a small motor to help the rider's
pedal-power (i.e., pedelecs) to somewhat more powerful to moped style functionality. This e-
bike uses a rechargeable battery and lighter varieties can travel up to 25 to 32 km/hr (16 to 20
mph). In some of the countries, conventional bicycles are replaced with e-bikes.
Critical advantages:
• Zero emission
• Power generation
• Low noise pollution
• Instant start and direct drive
Bicycles are a wonderful means of transportation. Use of these bicycles helps in reducing air
pollutions, environmental footpaths, and carbon emissions. These products are healthy and
inexpensive. The electrical bicycle is nothing but a traditional bicycle equipped with an electric
motor, which is helpful in pedaling. The motor is supplied with power from the battery, which
is recharged from the solar panels connected. In this way, this project helps in utilizing the
renewable energy source in the means of transportation thereby reducing the usage pollution
levels.
Electric Bicycles are driven by power and do not require any fuel. Existing conventional
bikes exclusively depend on leg power. Some peoples are unable to ride far distances. A
common person cannot purchase cars but he/she feel car drive with this modified existing
bicycle i.e. e-bike.
Most of the solar electric bicycles are of BLDC based cycles. Even though these are reliable,
they are subject to many disadvantages such as:
• Usage of lead-acid batteries
• Robustness
• More cost, complex circuitry
• Suitable for light loads only
This paper proposes a new solar electric bicycle using a permanent magnet direct current
(PMDC) motor. In this, solar energy is directly utilized from a solar panel that is connected to
the batteries will boost up the voltage and supply to the battery which in turn helps to make the
motor leading in the propulsion of the cycle. A PMDC motor is used in the electric cycle which
takes electric energy as input and does a mechanical work as the output. Therefore, the
operating principle of a PMDC motor will help to generate mechanical energy. Thus, the
mentioned disadvantages will be overcome by the proposed solar electric bicycle.
