Abstract:
Electric Vehicles (EVs) provide a sustainable transportation solution by minimizing carbon emissions and dependence on non-renewable energy sources, which contribute to enhanced energy efficiency and lower operational costs. However, EVs suffer from inefficiencies of power conversion due to losses in electronic elements like switches and inductors that result in reduced system performance. In this research, the Di-Strategy based Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm (DS-SBOA) is proposed for EV application utilizing a Bi-directional DC-DC converter. In conventional SBOA, diffusion mechanism and adaptive β hill climbing strategies are incorporated to enhance the population diversity, avoid local optima, and contribute to the search space for better solutions. A Photovoltaic (PV) system in EVs extends driving range by harnessing solar energy to charge the battery, which minimizes dependency on external charging stations and improves sustainability. A bidirectional DC-DC converter is employed to provide effective energy transfer between the load and the battery, which enhances battery life in EV applications. The proposed DS-SBOA obtains a better Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of 2.32% in source current and 15.48% in load current compared to existing methods, such as DSTATCOM with an ANFIS controller.
