Entropy-based controller parameter optimization for a dual-input EV charger integrated with WPT and solar energy using the Whale Optimization Algorithm
Charging electric vehicle (EV) batteries at constant voltage (CV) is essential for extending battery life and improving energy transfer efficiency. However, conventional PI controllers face challenges in maintaining voltage regulation under varying input conditions, such as wireless power transfer (WPT) misalignments and photovoltaic (PV) irradiance fluctuations, leading to poor transient performance. This paper presents an advanced control strategy that integrates WPT and rooftop solar input through a dual-input DC-DC converter (DIC) operating in closed-loop buck-boost mode. A PI controller regulates the output voltage, with its gains optimized using the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The controller is designed to minimize the Integral of Time-weighted Absolute Error (ITAE), settling time, and transient overshoot, forming a multi-objective optimization problem. The Entropy method is employed to assign weights to the objectives and construct a unified cost function. The proposed WOA-based controller is benchmarked against the JAYA algorithm, showing superior performance in reducing transient errors and improving system stability. The methodology is validated through MATLAB/Simulink simulations and experimental implementation on an FPGA-based platform. Controller performance is evaluated under dynamic WPT and PV conditions, demonstrating robustness and efficiency across multiple operating modes. Additionally, the impact of transient behavior on the battery’s state of health (SOH) is analyzed, indicating reduced degradation during charging. The results confirm that the proposed control strategy ensures reliable, efficient charging for next-generation EV systems integrating renewable energy sources.
期刊介绍:
Control Engineering Practice strives to meet the needs of industrial practitioners and industrially related academics and researchers. It publishes papers which illustrate the direct application of control theory and its supporting tools in all possible areas of automation. As a result, the journal only contains papers which can be considered to have made significant contributions to the application of advanced control techniques. It is normally expected that practical results should be included, but where simulation only studies are available, it is necessary to demonstrate that the simulation model is representative of a genuine application. Strictly theoretical papers will find a more appropriate home in Control Engineering Practice''s sister publication, Automatica. It is also expected that papers are innovative with respect to the state of the art and are sufficiently detailed for a reader to be able to duplicate the main results of the paper (supplementary material, including datasets, tables, code and any relevant interactive material can be made available and downloaded from the website). The benefits of the presented methods must be made very clear and the new techniques must be compared and contrasted with results obtained using existing methods. Moreover, a thorough analysis of failures that may happen in the design process and implementation can also be part of the paper.
The scope of Control Engineering Practice matches the activities of IFAC.
Papers demonstrating the contribution of automation and control in improving the performance, quality, productivity, sustainability, resource and energy efficiency, and the manageability of systems and processes for the benefit of mankind and are relevant to industrial practitioners are most welcome.
