A Hybrid RBFNN-SPOA Technique for Multi-Source EV Power System with Single-Switch DC-DC Converter.

With a single-switched DC-DC converter, a hybrid approach is proposed for a fast-charging (FC) dc to dc converter with the controller for an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) that combines solar photovoltaic (PV), fuel cells (FC), and a battery energy storage system (BESS). The proposed hybrid technique integrates a radial-basis-function-neural-network (RBFNN) and a student-psychology-optimization-algorithm (SPOA); commonly known as the RBFNN-SPOA technique. The PV-FC hybrid electric vehicle systems, like controllers, electric vehicle, and the vehicle's power source, are displayed. The proposed converter architectures have less voltage waveform changes, a low voltage stress on semiconductor power sources, and a high-voltage ratio of conversion. The proposed method is to use FC successfully at battery charge states and varied radiation levels. The FC in the controller of SPOA may change the inputs and outputs depending on the battery state of charge (SoC) and PV irradiation. Similarly, the needed input-torque for the motor is forecasted by the recalling recurrent neural network controller using several manually produced torque signals. The performance of the proposed technique is evaluated in MATLAB and is compared to ant colony optimization (ACO), crow optimization algorithm (COA), and fuzzy logic controller (FLC) approaches. According to the results, the efficiency of the proposed technique is 99.17%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
