dc.descriptionAll praises be to Allah, the merciful, the beneficent. We would like to express our heartiest gratitude and profound respect to our thesis supervisor Dr. Md. Ziaur Rahman khan, Professor, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) for his continuous guidance, generous help, suggestions, inspirations and wholehearted supervision throughout the process of this work. We feel grateful to him for giving me some sufficient freedom and having faith in our capabilities, which made the thesis work much effective for us. His passion and dedication to academic research has motivated us to push our boundaries harder and excel at our research work, which we believe, will inspire us to be a better researcher in future. We would like to thank our parents and dedicate our thesis to them. They have been the encouragement behind our every successful endeavor. This thesis work is not an exception and this would not have been completed without their constant support and inspiration. Finally, we put forward our humble gratitude to all our colleagues, friends and wellwishers for their help, supports and words of encouragements during our thesis work.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe design of a cost effective efficient charge controller for the electric rickshaw in Bangladesh has been done in this work. Electric Rickshaw are one of the most common form of electric vehicles in Bangladesh. Due to its several advantages, it has become very popular in rural areas. As electric rickshaw is run by the battery, charge controller plays an important role. The charge controllers need to have a high efficiency and different protection systems. Due to the inefficiency of charge controller, electric rickshaw consumes a lot of power that creates problems in the power sector. Quality of charge controller available in Bangladesh has been studied here to evaluate their performance. Designing is done in such a way that it senses how much charge is stored in the battery and according to it, charging voltage changes. Various safety features have been incorporated in the design to protect the battery as well as the charger itself. Simulation has been done using PROTEUS software. Tap changing transformer has been used for controlling in collaboration with Micro-Controller. The simulation results show that the design system is efficient and effective in charging the batteries. The charging system can be used to minimize the energy losses while charging and lengthen the life of the batteries in the electric rickshaws of Bangladesh. viien_US
