ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a power electronic based driver circuit for a brushless DC motor based e-vehicle. The proposed driver circuit is capable of extracting maximum power from the installed PV array under varying conditions of load and irradiance. A comparative analysis has been carried out among the three different control algorithms for the driver circuit. Form the results it is observed that an incremental conductance based control algorithm is able to extract maximum power thus improving the performance of the vehicle.
