Design of a photovoltaic system for waste collection vehicle
Abstract
A photovoltaic power supply system was proposed for solid waste collection on aquatic surfaces. Background analysis revealed that lithium-ion batteries are ideal due to their high energy density, thermal control, and durability. The vehicle's power source was constructed using lithium-ion batteries from decomposed laptops, optimized with a charge controller to ensure stable energy storage. A charging station with photovoltaic panels was implemented, configured as an island-type system with a second battery to counter adverse weather conditions. Facilities from the engineering faculty were utilized for didactic functionality in photovoltaic testing. Experiments with a navigation prototype simulated working conditions, demonstrating that the battery met the goal of over two hours of autonomy.
