<![CDATA[This paper presents a new combination between the Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) with several types of PID’s controllers (PID, Fractional order PID (FOPID), and Nonlinear PID (NPID)) optimized using a new Covid-19 algorithm. The proposed control techniques had been applied on a new model for an electric-wind vehicle, which can catch the wind that blows in the opposite direction of a moving vehicle to receive wind; a wind turbine is installed on the vehicle’s front. The generator converts wind energy into electricity and stores it into a backup battery to switch it when the primary battery is empty. The simulation results prove that the new model of electric–wind vehicles will save power and allow the vehicle to continue moving while the other battery charges. In addition, a comparative study between different types of control algorithms had been developed and investigated to improve the vehicle dynamic response. The comparison shows that the MRAC with the NPID compensator can absorb the nonlinearity (air resistance and wheel friction) where it has a minimum overshoot, rise time, and settling time (35 seconds) among other control techniques compensators (PID and FOPID). ]]>
