Innovative Power Quality Control for Integrated Photovoltaic and Electric Vehicle Systems in Smart Grid

Researchers from Annamalai University have proposed a high-efficiency, high-gain impedance-source direct current-direct current converter to optimize the transfer of energy between solar panels, electric vehicles, and the power grid. The proposed model uses an extended tilt-integral active disturbance rejection controller to ensure accurate control of voltage, current, and battery state of charge under dynamic conditions. The system also employs an augmented weighted k-means crested porcupine optimizer to further optimize power flow and improve energy management and system resilience.
