SOLAR CAR

FABRICATION OF SOLAR HYBRID CAR

Objective:

The objective of this project is to control the Robot car for Application through the solar power.

Scope:

This project is used to the Robot Controller Application in the remote areas. Solar energy is used to give the power to robot because now a days power demand is increased due to this power failure happens many time.

Methodology:

This project is designed by following blocks

ATMEL Micro controller

Charging circuit

Battery

Keypad

Motor driver circuit

Robot car

Solar panel consists of number of silicon cells, when sun light falls on this panel it generate the voltage signals then these voltage signals given to charging circuit. Depends on the panel board size the generated voltage amount is increased. In charging circuit the voltage signal from the board is gathered together and stored in the battery. The battery power is used to control the robot.

Here Microcontroller may be ATMEL/PIC/RENESAS/ARM Microcontroller both are flash type reprogrammable Microcontroller in which we had programmed. The set of keys in the keypad is used to control the robot such that forward, reverse, right and left. The driver circuit controls the motors, which are attached in the robot. The driver circuit constructed with transistors to turn ON and turn OFF the relays. The relays output are directly connected to motors. When we press the keys in the keypad the signal is given to micro controller. Now the micro controller activates the driver circuit. So the robot is moving in the corresponding direction. Block diagram:

Advantage:

1. Solar energy is used to control the robot car so we can save the power.

2. Even though power failure happens, we can control the robot car.

3. We can use the solar energy to control the robot car for any application. Application:

This project is very useful in the industrial application.
