Abstract
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-effectiveness. Power surge protection and control design are also discussed. Additionally, the study extends practically to the Bally Haly Country Club's 18-hole golf course, featuring a Morphorn BLDC motor (1800W), Sharp 250W solar panel, and Discover 24V 110Ah battery system with 1 panel and 3 batteries, demonstrating the system design and simulation.
