Summary

The thesis focuses on the development and evaluation of a hybrid power system for a motorhome. It encompasses the integration of an additional alternator attached to the vehicle's engine and a photovoltaic system installed on the roof. The primary objective is to assess the system's capability to provide electrical power independently, regardless of weather conditions, during weekly travel. Additionally, the system accommodates an extra load and separate battery, which activation is dedicated once a week for special occasions. The study delves into a comprehensive literature review, conducts the sizing of each component to align with consumer needs, and outlines the simulations of various trip scenarios in diverse geographical locations to analyze the photovoltaic system's energy performance. Ultimately, the research evaluates the system's reliability by simulating different parameters and drawing conclusions.
