Abstract

This paper presents modeling and control design steps towards the vehicle hybridization process. The objectives are: a) to model a retrofitted proton SAGA, which is a through-the-road HEV; and b) to design and implement a supervisory control unit for this vehicle. The electric powertrain components required for conversion are sized using the ADVISOR software package. Physical models of both powertrains were modeled using the MATLAB Simscape toolbox and validated for their fidelity. A supervisory controller design and implementation for retrofitted TTRH-EV SAGA is based on the BSFC map and OOL of the engine. The control objective is to restrict engine operation within its optimum window. The controller was implemented using the MATLAB Stateflow toolbox. The complete model of the retrofitted TTRH-EV SAGA, together with the supervisory controller, was tested using standard drive cycles, and the results are presented.

Abstract

This article proposes a novel single-stage double-sided LCC (DS-LCC) constant power (CP) wireless battery charger. The proposed CP charger uses a closedloop control in the secondary side with the active rectifier to make the DS-LCC charger achieve CP charging and optimal efficiency. Compared to previous work, the proposed CP wireless power transfer system does not involve any switch-controlled capacitor (SCC), does not require wireless communication, and can achieve optimal efficiency throughout the charging process. The proposed charger reduces cost and system complexity while improving efficiency. The proposed wireless charger is validated by simulation, and the efficiency remains between 94.44% and 94.52%, surpassing the previous work.

Abstract

Accurate state of charge (SOC) estimation is a critical requirement for the safe and efficient operation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), particularly in second-life battery (SLB) applications where battery ageing, nonlinear degradation, and measurement noise introduce uncertainty. Although numerous SOC estimation techniques have been proposed, reliable prediction for new and second-life batteries under varied operating conditions remains challenging. In this study, a comparative investigation of the conventional coulomb counting (CC) method and a data-driven random forest (RF) model is conducted for SOC prediction in new and second-life LIBs. Experimental data are obtained from Murata US18650VTC5D cells under pulse discharge tests (PDT), constant discharge tests (CDT), and dynamic stress tests (DST) across a wide range of C-rates. PDT is conducted at 0.24 C, CDT at 0.2 C, 0.5 C, 1 C, and 2 C, while DST is performed at C-rates ranging from 0.5 C to 4 C at a controlled ambient temperature of 25 °C. The RF model is trained using voltage, current, and time features and evaluated against CC using MAE, MSE, RMSE, and R² metrics. Results show that RF consistently outperforms CC under all conditions, particularly for SLBs, achieving significantly lower errors and R² values approaching 0.998. These findings confirm the effectiveness of RF-based SOC estimation for intelligent battery management systems (BMS).

Abstract

This paper presents a novel adaptive constant power optimal efficiency control (ACPOEC) strategy that enables efficient constant power (CP) charging in a double-sided inductor-capacitor-capacitor (DS-LCC) wireless charger. The proposed control strategy is built upon triple-phase-shift (TPS) modulation and employs a pre-computed lookup table derived from offline optimization to achieve CP charging with corresponding optimal efficiency. The CP charger with the proposed strategy can eliminate switch-controlled capacitors (SCCs) in the topology. The proposed strategy is validated through simulation studies, achieving an efficiency range of 90.72% to 92.46%, which is also competitive with other advanced CP wireless charging systems. Compared with existing state-of-the-art CP wireless charging techniques, the wireless CP charger with the proposed ACPOEC strategy features a simplified topology, bidirectional power transfer capability, and competitive efficiency performance.

Abstract

Finite control set-predictive torque control (FCS-PTC) has emerged as a popular control method for induction motors (IMs) over the past decade. This paper provides a detailed hardware implementation of FCS-PTC with a constant weighting factor (WF) on 186 W of IM. The FCS-PTC is implemented using the DS1104 controller board programmed using C code. A comprehensive analysis of flux, torque, and the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the stator current is conducted and presented to establish a relationship between the WF and drive performance. The experimental results indicate that a higher WF results in improved performance in flux and THD current, but a poorer torque response. Conversely, a lower WF improves torque performance but sacrifices the flux and THD current. The analysis outcome will hopefully provide some guidelines for developing the WF selection techniques.
