Abstract
A Maximum Power Tracking Technique (MPPT) for Photovoltaic Powered e-Vehicles via Black Widow Optimization Technique is introduced. The proposed system addresses the problems of conventional MPPT methods via a black widow spider-inspired optimization approach. As a result, the design would require fewer iterations to achieve prime conditions, thus increasing the complete efficiency of the proposed system. Field-oriented control (FOC) is used for speed control of the BLDC engine (e-vehicle). The proposed model was first designed, and then simulated in MATLAB environment. The simulink results run in parallel with the Typhoon HIL 402 setup. The results obtained the superior performance of the BWO-based MPPT technique. Details of the modeling of a new MPPT used for PV-driven BLDC-based e-vehicles are also discussed in this paper. There are many factors involved in a real situation for poor efficiencies, such as shade, irregular sunlight, and weather conditions, which show the non-linear characteristics of PV. The MPPT approach discussed in this article may be used to increase overall productivity and minimize costs for the operation of e-vehicles based on the PV framework.
