  • Abstract
    This paper describes driving performance of solar energy powered vehicle for a solar car rally. The first topic is to present one of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for the vehicle which have been proposed by authors. This novel control based vehicle is estimated from the view point of energy consumption, optimal speed and the total running distance under the regulated conditions. They are compared two types of motor specifications.
