Energy Conversion Efficiency Enhancement and Current Regulation in Solar-Powered Electric Vehicles Through a Modified Converter and Advanced Charging Strategy

Abstract

In renewable energy systems, the accuracy of electric vehicles (EVs) is fairly good. A large part of solar power is used only for EV equipment, derived from solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. In EV charging applications, a converter is the heart of the charging stations, linking the energy source and its load. In this paper, a novel reduced-switch series half-bridge converter is proposed. Advanced control and optimization techniques are used to increase efficiency and regulate frequency. In order to maximize energy conversion while maintaining battery life, renewable energy sources and control systems are integrated in response to growing demands for quick and effective EV charging. An enhanced technique is created that incorporates an Advanced Current Mode Charging Control Strategy (ACMCCS), a Multi-Objective Cuckoo Search (MOCS) algorithm, and the Modified Series Half-Bridge (MSHB) Converter. The integrated system is a potential approach to dependable and sustainable EV fast charging infrastructure since it highlights the effective use of solar energy and adapts to changing load and environmental circumstances. The current study addresses the difficulties in RE-powered fast charging, such as energy efficiency and battery safety, by providing EVC with sound optimization and control techniques.
