A Deep Learning Dependent Controller for Advanced Ultracapacitor SoC Concept to Increase Battery Life Span of Electric Vehicles

On a global scale, significant progress is being made in the field of battery technology for Electric Vehicle (EV) applications, driven by the need to combat carbon emissions and mitigate the effects of global warming. Accurately determining critical parameters, making sure battery storage system diagnosis, and functioning are correct are critical to the feasibility of EVs. However, insufficient supervision and safety measures for these storage systems may lead to serious problems like a thermal runaway, overcharging, overheating, cell imbalances, and fire hazards. To tackle these challenges, the presence of an efficient battery management system becomes paramount. By facilitating accurate monitoring, managing heat dissipation, regulating charging-discharging procedures, guaranteeing battery safety, and offering protection measures, this system is essential to maximizing battery performance. The key intention of this innovative approach is to improve the longevity of EV batteries during extended periods of operation. By assessing vehicle velocity, remaining battery energy, and State of Charge (SoC), the proposed method effectively manages SoC in both the battery and ultracapacitor. This control is accomplished through a two-stage convolutional neural network-based system known as the Charge Sustain-CNN Controller and the Charge Deplete-CNN Controller. These controllers are fine-tuned using the Fractional Latrans-Hunt optimization (FLHO) algorithm to optimize the performance. The evaluation criteria encompass the battery and ultracapacitor's energy efficiency, as well as vehicle velocity. This novel approach significantly improves the energy storage system in EVs, leading to enhanced energy efficiency and prolonged battery life. Ultimately, experimental results validate the practicality and effectiveness of this developed method. Specifically, the proposed approach attained the Battery's SoC of 72.47%, 91.99%, and 82.88% for the different drive cycles including the FTP75, J1015, and UDDS, respectively.
