Abstract

This paper introduces the optimal electrical system design for a solar car, which complies with the regulations of World Solar Challenge 2013. The optimal design principles of high efficiency, light weight and high reliability were proposed. The solar energy collection system, energy storage system, drive system and electronic control system were all designed under the guidance of the principles. The structure and working principle of the solar car electrical system are also introduced. The experimental results show that the design goals have been achieved, and the performance of the system has also been verified.
