Design and Simulation a Solar Golf Cart for use in St. John’s, Newfoundland

This paper introduces a solar-powered two-seater golf cart designed for St. John's, Newfoundland. We model it using HOMER PRO and MATLAB/Simulink, considering the PV generation, BLDC motor operation, battery dynamics, MPPT, and speed control. The economic analysis assesses component cost-effect...
