Electric vehicles (EVs) are rising in the automotive industry, replacing combustion engines and increasing their global market presence. These vehicles offer zero emissions during operation and more straightforward maintenance. However, for such systems that rely heavily on battery capacity, precisely determining the battery’s state of charge (SOC) presents a significant challenge due to its essential role in lithium-ion batteries. This research introduces a dual-phase testing approach, considering factors like HVAC use and road topography, and evaluating machine learning models such as linear regression, support vector regression, random forest regression, and neural networks using datasets from real-world driving conditions in European (Germany) and African (Morocco) contexts. The results validate that the proposed neural networks model does not overfit when evaluated using the dual-phase test method compared to previous studies. The neural networks consistently show high predictive precision across different scenarios within the datasets, outperforming other models by achieving the lowest mean squared error (MSE) and the highest R2 values.

This paper offers a system for an electric vehicle. It consists of digitally controlling an induction motor without using a speed sensor. The machine is powered by a five-level cascading H-bridge inverter. The SVM control principle is used to manage the status of the five-level inverter; this removes harmonics. The H-bridge inverter converter is powered by photovoltaic sources via a serial converter, using the maximum power point tracker control principle. This structure can also reduce shading losses. In the absence of a mechanical sensor, a dynamic model of the asynchronous machine is utilized with the state variables defined in the stator reference frame. The state vector consists of the components of the rotor flux and stator current. The article provides a comparison of two methods widely used on an induction motor drive. The adaptive model-reference system method and Luenberger observer are evaluated using an active control strategy to reject disturbances to minimize the impact of disturbances. The operating principles of each method are described, and the mathematical models of training systems are developed. Both methods provide a promise for high-speed estimate applications in simulation environments. The simulation results obtained show the correct operation of both observers. Perfect decoupling between the velocity and flow control loops is observed, taking into account any disturbances that may affect the system.

This paper describes a nonlinear control of the induction motor (IM) drive. The control strategy is based on backstepping approach in order to ensure a high performance of speed control and a better dynamic under uncertainties and external disturbances. The backstepping nonlinear control is developed using a non-linear law for currents, speed and flux, instead of vector control strategy. The performances of this control strategy have been examined through simulation and experimental results, using Matlab/Simulink and dSPACE system with DS1104 controller board. Obtained results show the robustness of the control algorithm for both load disturbances and speed variation.

Background: The recent development of small-scale, decentralized generation from renewable sources and the fall in the price of the equipment needed for this operation have given a new role to the distribution networks, which is to collect the energy produced by the smallest generation plants and deliver it to the end customers. However, the national Grid Codes present technical requirements in terms of FRT and particularly LVRT and HVRT which are imposed on PV plants connected to medium voltage distribution networks, to ensure the energy needed by the loads connected to the network at the time of the failure and especially sensitive ones. Methods:: In this paper, an intelligent neural network approach is applied to the DVR control circuit to enable the requirements of the sensitive load connected near the PCC, and the system is tested in the presence of a non-linear load to demonstrate its efficiency for all situations. The proposed strategy is based on the implementation of an improved ANFIS and ANN control which are compared to a tuned PI controller, the approach intends to meet the technical requirement of the recently approved Grid Code in Morocco. The simulation is performed using MATLAB Simulink. Results: The proposed approach brings great improvement to the load side voltage waveforms, and numerical experiment findings demonstrate that it can successfully guarantee the technical requirements of the electrical grid code. Conclusion: The results obtained show better behavior of the system using ANFIS and ANN control strategy in the presence of a nonlinear load and a significant improvement of the voltage THD.
