However, EVs’ dynamic load demands and the erratic nature of solar radiation make it difficult to maintain control dependability, energy efficiency and peak performance. In order to address these issues, a refined photovoltaic (PV)-driven Trans Quasi Z-Source Modified SEPIC-Luo (TQZSMSL) converter and energy management system is presented in this study.

A TQZSMSL converter is used in conjunction with this, offering reliable and adaptable voltage conversion capabilities to sustain a constant DC output. The BLDC motor speed is regulated with the aid of Proportional Integral (PI) controller. Also an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled FPGA controller (NodeMCU Wi-Fi module) is included to continuously monitor important metrics like motor speed, battery State-of-Charge (SoC), and panel voltage and current. A cloud-based IoT monitoring system receives this data for remote diagnostics and analytics on energy management.
