Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, BRAC University This conference paper was presented in the IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference and Expo, ITEC 2015; Dearborn; United States; 14 June 2015 through 17 June 2015 [© 2015 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.] The conference paper's definite version is available at: http:// 10.1109/ITEC.2015.7165735 Addressing the problem of high energy consumption from national grid of electrically assisted rickshaw the Control and Applications Research Centre (CARC), BRAC University has proposed a field tested green solution: provide a share of the required energy of these rickshaws using solar energy. A 360Wp PV array was installed on a rickshaw and the performance was evaluated to determine its impact on the rickshaw and the energy saved from the national grid. The paper presents the fndings from the field tests. It is seen that 50% of the required load energy can be provided by the PV array, consequently saving that energy from the national grid. It is further seen that for the same amount of energy consumed from the battery, the distance coverage of these rickshaws can nearly be doubled.
