I. INTRODUCTION

Multi Charging Electric Vehicle by using wind energy consist of

major component like PWM fans, Charge controller, BLDC motor
and batteries with controller. As a vehicle moves the wind speed
increases. And the air speed which was not used is our attempt to
charge the electric car battery by using the same. Where PWM fans
are used as a receiver and a stainless-steel magnet are installed on
the periphery of fans for its smooth and easy rotation. These fans
can generate the voltage up to 3.96v to 4v and at least 2.35v in
minimum speed of vehicle. A charge controller is installed to
supply the sufficient voltage to the load also to avoid the chances
of shot circuit. Here, lead acid batteries are used lithium ion and
lithium phosphate ion can also be. A 1000w 48v BLDC motor with
its controller are used which provide a torque of 18 Nm and the
speed up to 50 – 55 km/hr.

The big issue of charging the batteries and its efficiency can be
solved here as the electric vehicle are future scope for us since the
fossil fuels are continuously are in used to generate electricity for
charging EVs and for other used too. It may largely impact on the

easily rotate with the help of wind. It generates 3.96 to 4 volts.
Charge controllers regulate the energy and transfer it directly to the
batteries as a DC-coupled system, which is the most efficient and
effective manner. In brushless motors, permanent magnets rotate
around a fixed armature and overcome the problem of connecting
current to the armature. The controller provides pulses of current to
the motor windings that control the speed and torque of the motor. TABLE 1

4 volt of single fan x 12 fans = 48 volts
4 volt of single fan x 16 fans = 64 volts
4 volt of single fan x 18 fans = 72 volts (including all air losses)

With considering losses

3.96 volts of single fan x 18 fans = 71.28 volts
48 volts < 71.28 volts (Charging ON)
Maximum single fan voltage = 4 / 3.96 volts
Minimum single fan voltage = 2.25 volts

2.25 volts x 18 fans = 40.5 volts

40.5 < 48v (Charging OFF)

VI.CONCLUSION

The kit installed in electric vehicle in which the PWM (Pulse

Width Modulation) fans are mounted for the charging of batteries.
So, the single fan can generate 3.96 volts with considering losses
and 4 volts without considering losses. If we mount 18 fans in this
kit for charging the batteries of EV’s then it calculated as it can
generate 71.28 volts with considering losses. The single fan
minimum voltage including all losses is 2.25 volts by which it can
generate 56.25 volts of 25 fans. Hence through the theoretical
calculation on the power generated by the PWM fans with the help
of wind, a significant amount of electric power is restored to the
batteries.

In this way, multiple options will be made available for disabled

drivers to choose the e-vehicle charging which completely fulfils
their needs and provides independence and easy mobility from one
place to another.
