Abstract :
The transportation sector significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions. With increasing concerns over environmental sustainability and the depletion of fossil fuels, solar-based hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) present a viable solution. This paper discusses the architecture, design considerations, control strategies, and environmental impact of integrating solar photovoltaic systems with hybrid electric vehicle powertrains. A Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)-based energy management strategy is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink to optimize power flow and reduce emissions. Results indicate substantial improvements in battery state of charge (SOC) maintenance and emission reductions compared to conventional strategies.
