MODELLING OF THE SOLAR ENERGY FALLING ONTO THE PANEL OF SOLAR CAR AND WEB-APLICATION FOR SIMULATING THE CAR MOTION ALONG THE ROAD

摘要

The web-based program package has been developed for modeling of the amount of the solar energy falling on the panel of solar car along the road. The input parameters of the model are: 1) instant of Greenwich time 2) geographical coordinates (latitude, longitude and height from the sea level to the point at road); 3) the road tilt. The main output of the model is the amount of solar energy falling on the solar car for any instant of time and position of the car on road. As a study case the road Kiel-Berlin(Germany) and Baku-Shemakha (Azerbaijan) are taken. The database of solar energy, obtained by the calculations on the model for those roads has been used to develop the easy-to-use interface JavaScript based front-end web-application to simulate the motion of the solar car. The web application of this model can be considered as the prototype of the navigation system of solar cars which will provide their optimal controlling.
