Optimizing EV Performance using Cascaded ANFIS based MPPT for High Gain Sepic-Zeta Converter

Electric vehicles (EVs) acts an essential role in the decarbonization of transportation and overall efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. EV creates zero tailpipe emissions, as they are powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels. This directly contributes to reducing local air quality improvement, particularly in metropolitan areas, and contaminants in the air where emissions from conventional vehicles are a significant concern. This paper presents a novel approach for optimizing EV performance by employing a cascaded ANFIS based MPPT technique in conjunction with a high-gain SEPIC-Zeta converter. The proposed high gain converter offers advantages such as high voltage gain, reduced input current ripple and improved voltage conversion efficiency. The cascaded architecture of the ANFIS-based MPPT technique provides enhanced tracking accuracy, robustness and adaptability to varying environmental factors including temperature changes and sun irradiation. By dynamically adjusting the operating point of the PV array, the system ensures that the EV battery receives the maximum available power from the PV source, resulting in increased energy harvesting efficiency. The optimized power conversion process achieved through the cascaded ANFIS-based MPPT and high-gain SEPIC-Zeta converter contributes to the advancement of EV technologies, promoting sustainable and efficient transportation systems.
