The efficiency of a nation’s progress is determined by a variety of factors; however, transportation plays a critical role in boosting progress because it facilitates trade and communication between countries. The majority of transportation is powered by fossil fuels such as gasoline or diesel, which will be depleted in less than 50 years. Another option is to operate transportation systems after replacing conventional vehicles with electric vehicles (EV). Powering these vehicles with green electricity contributes zero carbon emissions from production to the final product. Together with the controller, an efficient charger ensures that the entire system is reliable and stable. The current work focuses on charging an off-board EV from greener energy sources (both a fuel cell and PV array forming a micro-grid) based on their availability via an efficient converter controlled by an adaptive multi-objective controller. A novel multi-output-based adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) controller for charging the off-board EV at a constant current and voltage for both line and load regulations is proposed, in the current work. A comparison study of grid partitioning and subtractive clustering was conducted in order to select an optimized algorithm for generating FIS. Novelty is achieved by ensuring closed-loop stability is the main aim of the work. The entire work was created with the MATLAB/Simulink software.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
