Master’s Project, UK
Analysing and Designing of solar panels for Air Conditioners in Volvo MTC buses in
Chennai-India May 2015-Sep 2015
 The main objective of the project is to make green vehicle.
 General analysis was made on solar PV in India.
 Energy demand for the bus have been calculated using thermodynamics of
temperature flow inside the bus.
 Hourly irradiation data for Chennai of year 2008 have analysed.
 Minimum and maximum daily temperature was converted to hourly temperature
using MATLAB for year 2008.
 Using hourly irradiation data and hourly temperature data power produced by single
solar panel have calculated.
 By choosing required range of MPPT and battery, with total 12 solar panels the
circuit is designed with payback period of 2 years and 22 days.
