Implementation of a Novel TABGD-BBCO Controlling Mechanism Used in EV Systems

Abstract

Solar energy-based Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming more popular in recent days due to their enormous profitability. The existing PV-based EV application systems comprise the major problems of increased computational complexity, reduced efficiency, incompetent speed control and high error rate. Thus, this research work intends to develop a novel controlling mechanism named Tuple Accelerated Batch Gradient Descent (TABGD) for enhancing the speed control of EVs with a high battery power support. The main contribution of this technique is to control the converter and inverter circuits by optimally tuning the parameters of the controlling mechanism. Also, it generates the switching control signal with regulated DC output and motor current. Moreover, an improved Batched Bee Colony Optimization (BBCO) algorithm is employed to provide optimal battery power support to the EV system. The experimental results validate the performance of the proposed mechanism and compare it with other state-of-the-art methods.
