“Efficient Management of Renewable Solar Energy
for Vehicular Applications”
Introduction
An autonomous power system (APS) exploits local
renewable energy sources and provides useful energy at
lower cost when compared to conventional power systems.
The main target of an energy management system is to
ensure uninterrupted power supply to the customer.
Major steps involved with APS success:
 Generate renewable energy
 Minimize operation cost
 Reduce environmental impact
 Increase profitability

Background and Motivation (+)
Why increasing renewable energy uses?
 Fossil fuel scarcity
 Growing concern over environmental issues
 Safety issues regarding nuclear energy
 Sustainability of renewable energy sources
 Increasing energy conversion efficiency of
renewable energy sources
 The EPA is proposing emission guidelines
for States to follow in developing plans to
address greenhouse gas (CO2) emissions
from existing fossil fuel-fired electric generation
EPA = Environmental Protection Agency
EIA = Environmental Impact Assessment
UCS = Union of Concerned Scientists

An instance of simulation failure: For data
transfer rate 3200 data per/ second, the queue
length is smaller than the required. To resolve this
issue, queue length must be increased.

Experimental Results (+)
■ Solar Energy in August 2014
 Solar energy due to simulation is higher
than that due to the actual
implementation. Peak power generation
for simulation is at around 1:00 PM, but
at 2:00 PM for implementation result.
 This is due to the fact that simulation
results uses values from the data sheet
specifications of the solar vendor and
the solar irradiance of Lamont, OK (not
Yoder, KS). Also, we consider that the
solar panels are fixed to generate the
maximum amount of energy at 1:00 PM.

Experimental Results (+)
■ Solar Energy in February 2014
 Sometime the simulation result is higher
than the implementation result and vice
versa. This is probably due to the nature
of unpredictable weather conditions in
Lamont, OK and Yoder, KS.
 It is observed that the maximum energy
generated in August 2014 is higher than
that of February 2014 (for both
simulation and implementation). This is
because the average solar intensity is
higher in August.

Experimental Results (+)
■ Energy Generation
 Required (a standard car): 1400 W [1, 2]
 Solar panels: 327 W
 Energy generation = 23% (Approx.)
■ Gas Saving per Standard Car
 Gas consumption per year: 12,000
miles/24 mpg = 500 gallons [3]
■ Pollution Ellimanation
 About 20 lb of CO2 is released by
burning a gallon of fuel [4, 5].

Conclusions
■ In this work, an autonomous power system (APS) with
solar panels and gasoline for hybrid electric vehicle
(HEV) is simulated. CAN bus, FlexRay, and Bluetooth
are explored as the communication mediums.
■ Simulation results suggest that CAN bus is the best
choice for HEV as CAN bus optimizes the
communication required by such a vehicular system.
■ Considering the complexity and the dynamic nature of
the APS, we find the proposed renewable energy
management system easy, flexible, fast, and reliable.
