Abstract

In electric vehicles (EVs), efficient energy management is critical for reliable power transfer between the battery and motor. This paper presents the design and implementation of a bidirectional DC-DC converter equipped with a smart battery management system (BMS). The system supports bidirectional power flow, operating in boost mode during acceleration and buck mode during regenerative braking, thereby enhancing overall energy efficiency and vehicle performance. A PIC microcontroller governs the system, performing real-time monitoring of key battery parameters such as state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), voltage, and temperature. Safety features include automatic cooling fan activation when the temperature exceeds 45 °C and generator startup when battery voltage falls below 23 V. Real-time data is displayed via an LCD interface to improve user interaction and system transparency. The proposed system achieved a conversion efficiency of 90-93% during experimental testing, with stable switching, reliable automation, and effective thermal protection. The embedded energy management system optimizes charging and discharging cycles while preventing overcharging, deep discharge, and thermal stress. This intelligent, automated power converter enhances battery life, improves EV reliability, and contributes to sustainable transportation by enabling features like vehicle-to-grid (V2G) energy transfer. The proposed architecture is well-suited for integration into modern EV infrastructure. Although the system architecture supports future V2G integration, V2G functionality was not implemented or tested in the present experimental setup.

Abstract

Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining global prominence due to their high efficiency, low noise, and minimal carbon emissions. A critical aspect of EV performance lies in the interaction between energy storage systems (ESS) and power converters. Nonetheless, power delivery from storage units tends to be unreliable and needs strong converter units for effective and stable energy transmission. Several forms of direct current-to-direct current conversion systems used in electric vehicles are thoroughly examined in the paper, including both isolated and non-isolated designs such as those with the cuk, flyback, and push-pull architectures. The paper looks at converter categorization, control methods such as proportional-integral and artificial neural networks, as well as the method of modulation using unipolar and bipolar sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (PWM). Additionally, the role of optimization algorithms in improving converter performance is explored. Simulations were conducted using MATLAB/Simulink to evaluate each topology under varying load and input voltage conditions. The results demonstrate that the Push-Pull converter has the best efficiency for high-power applications, while the Cuk and Flyback converters are best for applications requiring continuous current and low-power, compact designs, respectively. This research offers insights for choosing optimal converter structures to improve energy efficiency and reliability of systems in electric vehicles.

Abstract

In the evolving landscape of energy systems, batteries play a critical role in enabling hybrid and stand-alone renewable energy storage solutions. Precisely estimating battery life and remaining useful operational life will go a long way in enhancing the efficiency of the system with assured reliability in smart power storage devices. This report comprehensively surveys advanced approaches in the management of batteries through state-of-the-art artificial intelligence tools-support vector machines, relevance vector machines (RVM), long short-term memory (LSTM) models, and bayesian filters-that are being used with a view to enhancing remaining useful life (RUL) estimates and making real-time system health monitoring capabilities possible. Modeling approaches surveyed include state estimation, capacity, and thermal management, while discussing their applicability to lithium-ion batteries. The review also explores publicly available battery datasets, feature engineering strategies, and hybrid diagnostic frameworks. A technoeconomic perspective is provided to assess system performance in renewable-integrated power grids. This paper aims to consolidate current knowledge, provide comparative insights into the strengths and limitations of different approaches, and highlight open research challenges to guide future developments in smart AI-enabled battery systems that support sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure.
