A review on solar wind for possible application in electric vehicle

Abstract

The requirement of electrical energy is increasing with a rapid pace. The reason behind this demand is easy conversion of electrical energy into other forms. Transportation of electrical energy is quick and has tremendous application in modern world. A majority of the communities around the world depend heavily on coal, oil and natural gas for their energy needs. These fuels draw on several resources which will eventually diminish, that make them too environmentally damaging or too expensive. To complete the demands and proximate environmental issue, there is need for new technology that helps in generation of sustainable and clear energy. In this paper, technology related to solar and wind with their application has been discussed. By using the combination of these resources, intermittent nature of renewable sources can be reduced. Hybrid solar wind technology can find application in electric vehicle, stand-alone system and grid connected system. The focus of this review paper is to provide the reader with insight of solar, wind and electric vehicle technology that includes their history, advantages, barriers and technology evolution.
