Designing of a Solar Powered Vehicle Utilizing Vanadium Redox Flow Battery

This paper offers the basics of utilization of vanadium oxidation-reduction flow batteries in solar powered vehicles, mainly cars. The two folded objective of this research is to use a source of energy that is renewable in nature to run the automobiles and designing of the solar powered system in such a way to store the unused solar energy. Moreover, the feasibility of using vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) for refueling of the system is also presented. Overall, a environment friendly and cost effective system has been generated utilizing solar energy.
