Abstract

The problem of drive span maximization in electric vehicle is well studied. There exist number of approaches around the problem which uses residual energy and sleep mode as key in maximizing the drive span. However, they suffer to achieve higher performance in drive span maximization. This article presents a novel Dual Model Photovoltaic Power System Based Drive Span Maximization Model (DPDSM). The model is focused on maximizing the storage of voltage in the PV cells and utilizing maximum battery supply. The model generates the voltage from the photovoltaic system and regulates the power to the electric vehicle. The model has been connected with number of photovoltaic cells, which has been connected in serial. Using them, the required voltage has been regulated to the electric motor. In another mode, the residual voltage of the vehicle battery has been changed to discharge mode which support the regulation of voltage for the vehicle. The dual mode photovoltaic power system regulates effective power for the electric vehicle continuously with less voltage loss.
