Abstract

The demand for robust and reliable electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure has accelerated the exploration of advanced charging systems utilizing multiple energy sources. In this context, a dual-input EV charger powered by Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) and Photovoltaic (PV) sources is proposed in this paper. The charger system employs a Proportional-Integral (PI) controller to regulate the output voltage by comparing it with the required battery charging voltage. Given the nonlinear and time-varying nature of the input sources, tuning the controller using conventional methods proves inadequate. Therefore, a metaheuristic-based optimization technique, known as the JAYA algorithm, is utilized to determine the optimal PI controller parameters for improved voltage regulation. The closed-loop system performance is verified through MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations, and further validated using a laboratory-developed prototype controlled via an FPGA platform. The results demonstrate that the JAYA-tuned controller significantly enhances transient performance and voltage stability under various input fluctuations and load disturbances. The practical implementation confirms the effectiveness of the proposed system, offering a viable solution for next-generation EV charging applications.
