Abstract
When approaching a large-scale performance, the choice, size, and administration of an Energy Storage System (ESS) for an Electric Vehicle (EV) are crucial. As the peak-to-average power demand ratio is relatively large, particularly for an urban ride that is frequently marked by rapid deceleration as well as acceleration, the complementary characteristics of the battery and Ultra-Capacitor (UC)render this arrangement a viable Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) for EV. Enhanced dynamic responsiveness, increased miles per charge, and extended battery life provided by the HESS increase the Electric Vehicle (EV’s) effectiveness. The primary objective of the study that has been suggested is to create a smart Energy Management Strategy (EMS) for EVs. A battery package and a properly sized Ultra-Capacitor (UC) together give the required high power along with energy density. This research proposes a CNN-based power management technique to aid in efficient EMS. Additionally, by adjusting the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) classifier’s weights through Improved Honey Badger Optimization (IHBO), the adaptive approach of the Standard HBO Algorithm, the performance of the classifier is improved. In MATLAB, the suggested CNN-based model for BESS EM is simulated and experimental assessment and analysis are done in terms of converter current and battery SoC. By contrasting the suggested approach against several standardized models, the performance analysis of the proposed work is assessed to validate its performance.
Introduction
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are increasingly being studied and developed around the globe to preserve energy, lowering consumption, and resolve the issue of polluting the surroundings. Nevertheless due to their fundamental chemical properties, batteries possess little power density, which will certainly impact the EV function. A supplementary ESS must be taken into consideration for EVs to address the frequent power transient demands, and also to satisfy the automobile’s peak power needs as it may compensate for the battery’s limitations. Expanding the range of driving an EV by employing a Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) is a good idea, however managing numerous energy storage devices requires a complex Power Management System (PMS) A Hybrid EV (HEV) with an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and a HESS was explored in [1]. A couple of novel energy management techniques, that consider the shelf life of the battery, have been suggested for the HESS that links the batteries with the super-capacitor, which includes a Model Predictive Control (MPC) system as well as a Dynamic Programming (DP) technique.
The Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy (ECMS) was utilized between ICE and HESS. The equivalent HEV arrangement is the study that has also been utilized in [2]. A DP methodology was recommended for the EM of the HESS, which enhances the lifespan of the batteries, and a fuzzy controller was utilized for the EM among the ICE and the HESS. An FCHV that consists of an FCS and a HESS was the subject of an earlier study [3]. To lessen the use of hydrogen, a multi-dimensional DP coding was investigated the EM among the FCS/BESS/SC. For a Hybrid EV (HEV) to attain the best fuel efficiency and shelf life of batteries, earlier studies [4] applied the PMP to the energy management that includes the ICE, the battery, as well as the super-capacitor. To increase the range along with the efficiency of the EV, a rule-based energy management technique for the HESS was suggested in [5]. However, a DP technique for the HESS was published in [6] to minimize the loss of the battery in EVs. In EVs constructed with HESSs, rule-based energy management algorithms are extensively implemented [7, 8]. Although reliable and computationally effective, these methods do not ensure energy efficiency.
Developing the appropriate standards also requires technical knowledge as well as manual customization. From the solutions obtained through alternative optimization approaches, such as DP and genetic algorithm-based optimization [9, 10, 11], several governing laws can be derived. To manage the energy consumption of hybrid as well as long-range EVs, fuzzy logic controls are also used [12, 13]. For optimal results in onboard electricity management, fuzzy logic controllers can either supplement or work in conjunction with various additional instruments [14]. To increase efficiency and dependability during energy storage and discharge cycles, make sure that various energy storage technologies such as ultracapacitors and lithium-ion batteries integrate and synchronize seamlessly. To preserve performance and extend the life of batteries and other components, efficient thermal management systems must be put in place inside the energy storage system. To reduce the dangers of energy storage systems, such as overcharging, short circuits, and thermal runaway events, strengthen safety procedures and dependability measures. Maximizing the potential of hybrid energy storage systems in electric vehicles can result in enhanced performance, efficiency, and user satisfaction by tackling these obstacles with creative technologies, strong management approaches, and industry-wide cooperation.
The following is an outline of this study:
Establishes an adaptive model of Standard Algorithm Honey Badger Optimization (HBO) named Improved HBO Algorithm (IHBO) entrenched on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for energy storage systems in Electric EVs. Introduces a novel optimization methodology, named IHBO for the enhancement of CNN performance by tuning the weights of the CNN model.
The organization of this research is provided below: Section 2 describes the remarks about traditional methods along with the features as well as challenges of various HESS for the Power management of EVs, Section 3 narrates the proposed Energy Management strategy in EVs with HESS, Section 4 explains the process of Tuning of weights by Improved Honey Badger Optimization Algorithm whereas Section 5 provides the results and discussion and Section 6 summaries the research.
In 2020, Bindu and Sushil [15] offered a fuzzy logic control-based power management technique that employs Ultra-Capacitor (UC) to relieve the battery of peak discharge currents and quick charging currents. By controlling the battery current’s size as well as the rate of change, this suggested Work seeks to prolong the longevity of the battery. By keeping the SoC of the UC between the bounds of 0.85 to 0.96, the Ultra-Capacitor (UC) can be rendered for sharing the peak load. This is accomplished by charging the UC at a time of low load and discharging it during a time of high load, as determined by the Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) As the reference battery current set by the FLC is gradually variable and the UC, which is voltage regulated, will distribute the leftover power, this also aids in balancing the battery current. Simulations were performed and the outcomes were examined. Various operational methods are investigated using a prototype experimental configuration.
In 2021, Prasanthi et al. [16] developed an ideal hybrid energy source sizing technique for Hybrid EVs (HEVs) that combines UC and Fuel Cells (FC) with battery Units (BU). Dynamic-source frameworks are used to design a multifaceted issue that evaluates the system’s establishing expenses, size, operating expense, as well as supply deterioration costs. Additionally, a brand-new Adaptive EMS (AEMS) that emphasizes driving cycle power requirement and dynamic-source features is put forth as a solution to the optimization issue. Finally, the BOA is enhanced by using the quantum waveform notion for better exploring the search space for solving the hybrid energy source optimization issue. The effectiveness of the developed technique is assessed in Matlab/simulation, and the findings indicate that the suggested AEMS operates more effectively and might lower the system’s relative expense and weight for the Battery unit ultra-capacitor Fuel Cell (BU-UC-FC) configuration by 16% and 10%, respectively.
In 2020, Ye et al. [17] suggested an Energy Management Strategy (EMS) along with a hybrid energy storage system optimization approach for the energy management as well as control strategy of an EV for conventional driving cycles. The Fuel Cell System (FCS) suggests optimized methods, such as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) that employ consumption of energy as their ideal goal activity. Two control techniques are discovered after analyzing the fuzzy control strategy in MATLAB/Simulation depending on the enhanced EV concept. The ideal control method was discovered and contrasted with the simulation results relying on the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) as well as the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). In numerous simulated scenarios, this study demonstrates that, in comparison to the PSO, the output peak current and current variation of the BESS enhanced by the GA algorithm are less, and are more stable, as well as the overall consumption of energy is decreased by 3–9%.
In 2020, Bai et al. [18] presented a multi-dimensional size optimization framework and HEMS to maximize the element size as well as power of a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) with the HESS. A PHEV with a BESS is utilized as a comparative guidance, and the DP technique is established as a standard for opposition, to assess how well size optimization and power optimization execute. The size optimization approach investigates the ideal configuration of the system, by considering the maximal power and capacity of the battery and the SC as well as the system’s maximum power. The battery degrading rate was decreased by 48.9%, as well as the automobile economy has risen by 21.2%, according to the results of size optimization and HEMS.
Features and challenges of various HESS for power management of EVs.
Features and challenges of various HESS for power management of EVs.
In 2021, Yi et al. [19] created an EMS for HEVs that considers battery degradation and relied on PMP. The hybrid energy storage EV model is initially built to validate the EMS. To create a battery deterioration framework, the battery life cycle tests have been performed. After that, an RB control strategy and Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle (PMP) optimization technique are employed to rationally distribute electricity in a HESS. The created EMS is verified by a simulation experiment with UDDS settings, and the results show that the recommended EMS offers a lesser rate of consumption of energy along with battery degradation than the RB technique.
In 2018, Komarappa and Lakshmi Kantha [20] presented an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) controller-based HESS architecture that is constructed by employing both NiMH battery and ultra-capacitor in Hybrid EV (HEV). The HEV had two sources, such as the battery and the UC. The battery was the main supply in that situation, and UC was a redundant supply. In this case, the HEV load demand is satisfied using the UC. The UC’s capabilities are charged and discharged by the ANN controller. Once the battery’s SOC falls below 60%, the UC starts to discharge. To determine when the UC should be turned on or off, the battery SOC was tracked throughout each iteration. Based on this, each iteration of the HEV received the necessary power. The conclusion drawn from the results is that the HEV with the ANN controller performs better than the HEV without the ANN controller.
In 2019, Sanusi et al. [21] developed an online learning system that utilizes reinforcement learning along with adaptive dynamic programming for the power control of hybrid electric systems. The approaches used for managing electricity currently are conventional and unable to properly account for system fluctuations brought on by shifting functional as well as health situations. These conservative plans make less efficient use of the power sources that are already accessible, raising the entire system cost and escalating the likelihood of failure because of variances. As the reinforcement signals are nonlinear, a Neural Network (NN) is used to execute the system. When contrasted to a traditional offline dynamic programming strategy, simulation findings reveal enhanced system performance utilizing the suggested approach.
In 2018, Gonsrang and Kasper [22] presented a Power Management System (PMS) for an EV equipped with a battery pack, UC bank, and range extender. Without breaking any physical restrictions, the suggested Constrained Quadratic Program (CQP) – based PMS distributed the best power loads to the automobile’s elements. Weight considerations were effective instruments for directing the optimization program to accomplish specific objectives, such as Super Capacitor (SC) bank charging solely with regenerative power. Similar to the Nonlinear Model Predictive Control algorithm (NMPC)-based program, the CQP may accomplish the highest possible energy usage. Integer parameters as well as quadratic conditions took the CQP solver a fair amount of time to resolve. The quadratic restriction can be linearized, which will speed up calculation and make it easier to use this program for online applications. Table 1 provides the features and challenges of various HESS for the power management of EVs. The FLC-based PMS approach is introduced in [15], which enhances the voltage level with increased effectiveness. However, the batteries as well as UC voltages are constrained because of cell balancing difficulty. ABOA strategy was introduced in [16], which decreased the expense by sixteen percent with superior functionality. Here, the formulation of the optimization issue has mainly disregarded the source dynamic properties. Moreover, Fuzzy control with PSO and GA was designed in [17], which provides improved performance with rapid optimization velocity. However, Real-time optimizing cannot be done using the time-consuming methodology. A DP algorithm has been introduced in [18], which offers greater fuel efficiency in addition to a decrease in battery degradation by 38.4 percent. Yet, it can be challenging to maximize the battery’s longevity. PMP was described in [19], which was used to accumulate energy as well as safeguard the battery. However, EV energy management is a common example of an ideal regulation issue in a system with nonlinear dynamics that is time-varying and subject to limitations. Nevertheless, ANN controller-based HESS was introduced in [20], which decreases the battery SoC by under 60% and offers increased efficiency. Here, it aids in resolving issues brought on by a single ESS. Reinforcement learning and adaptive dynamic programming were utilized in [21], which boosts system efficiency with the lowest possible fuel usage. However, DP’s rely on a precise mechanism model. CQP-based PMS was developed in [22] that requires only optimum power and the time required for computation is less. However, it ignores the temperature dependence of the variables for simplicity.
The HESS of the proposed model consists of an induction motor, a battery, two DC-DC converters, a UC, and a three-phase inverter.

Whereas,
The SOC of a battery is the most important component of its energy status. The latter mostly depends on how the battery is charged and discharged. When contrasted with the maximal overall battery energy, the SoC is the energy that is quite obtainable. We thus have:
Taking into consideration that
Positive and negative charges are actually separated by the UC to store energy. Two parallel plates separated by an insulator are used for storing the charges. UCs have an extended cycle life yet possess a low energy density as they do not undergo chemical modification. Like batteries, UC units in vehicles are made up of several cells connected in series and perhaps even in parallel. For ease of building the UC pack for the automobile, several cells are typically integrated into units. However, the functionality of the UC unit is primarily determined by the cell properties. Resistance R (Ohm) and capacitance C (Farad) are the two main performance factors for UCs [25]. Figure 1 depicts the simple UC model.

Simple UC model.
The UC terminal voltage is exactly proportional to the SOC, which is another aspect of the device. UCs can be used to help HEVs with their energy storage needs. Urban driving frequently involves stop-and-go circumstances and the overall power needed is little. Due to its high charge and discharge rates, UCs are ideal for absorbing energy from regenerative braking and swiftly supplying power for acceleration.
Usually, UCs have a larger power density than BESS. Cost savings come from a long lifespan and minimal maintenance. Batteries and UCs could be coupled in HEV applications to maximize the advantages of both components [26].
UCs have a substantially higher density power than batteries, which have a reasonably high energy density. The UCs should be directly linked to the DC link to insulate the batteries from supplying peak power and from being directly recharged, which will increase battery life. The HESS’s bidirectional DC-DC converter comprises buck and buck-boost modes, and the efficiency of conversion in each mode is consistently regarded as the most crucial element. To increase the effectiveness of the entire system, the UCs and batteries should deliver the power directly without the use of a DC-DC converter, as energy loss cannot be completely avoided in either buck mode or buck-boost mode [27].
The goal of the DC-to-DC power converter is to create a bidirectional power flow between two numerous voltage levels under both normal and abnormal conditions. This is possible if the DC-DC converter has an appropriate topology. To regulate energy between the UC and the battery, the control laws for DC/DC converters must be established. The two converters with parallel topologies used in this study are the buck and buck-boost converters. The DC-DC converter connected to the battery is referred to as the buck converter, while the DC-DC converter coupled to the UC is the buck-boost converter. The HEV energy management establishes the converter dynamic control strategy [28, 29].
Three-phase inverter
Each switching component of a simple three-phase bridge inverter is made up of a controlled rectifier and a diode coupled in a pair back-to-back. A switch can be used to symbolize this pair. Emergency supplies and AC motor drives typically employ these inverters. For loads with different power factors, these applications call for control of the output voltage and output frequency [30]. The DC link voltage and pulse width modulation can be adjusted to control the three-phase inverters’ output voltage. For many applications, the pulse width modulation is appealing because it doesn’t call for a second stage of the regulated DC link.
Proposed methodology
The ultimate aim of the suggested research is to develop an intelligent EMS for EVs. The battery has been included in this research for the persistence of alleviating the power density shortage of ESSs in EVs. A battery, two DC-DC converters, a UC, a three-phase inverter, and an induction motor make up the HESS. The battery is considered to be the primary energy source in charge of sustaining the vehicle’s range. The power distribution among batteries in both charged and discharged modes is managed by the bidirectional DC-DC converter. The proposed method’s schematic diagram is shown in Fig. 2.

Proposed model of Energy Management System for BESS using EVs.
In this proposed work, the converter current, battery SOC, and UC SOC are given as input to the CNN [31], which predicts the power to be delivered by the battery and the UC. Additionally, by fine-tuning the CNN classifier’s weights using the IHBO, the performance of the classifier is improved. Battery SoC and UC SoC are provided as the input to the CNN classifier from the Simulink model by modifying the acceleration pattern and the accompanying converter current, which results in the achievement of battery power as well as UC power. The IHBO fine-tunes the weights of the CNN for maximum performance. The IHBO is the Standard HBO Algorithm’s adaptive model [32]. The honey badger’s sophisticated foraging technique served as the inspiration for HBA, a mathematical technique for creating an effective search method for resolving optimization issues. The HBA’s explored and exploited stages are derived from the honey badger’s dynamic searching behavior, which employs tactics like digging and honey searching. Also, by employing regulated randomization techniques, HBA keeps an adequate population range even after the searching stage.
Data normalization, which is the conversion of characteristics into a common array, is a crucial pre-processing step that prohibits significant numerical aspect values from predominating small numerical feature values. The fundamental objective is to reduce the amplification of those sequence category characteristics that quantitatively provide beyond options. The importance of data normalization for developing accurate predictive models has been looked into by CNN. Using the min-max [0,1] normalization method [33], the data was normalized and is provided by,
CNN comprises multiple convolutions as well as sub-sampling layers. Each of the layers involves numerous feature maps that are linked to preceding layer maps using a set of minute receptive fields. The CNN architecture is shown in Fig. 3.

CNN architecture.
Several feature maps are created from the given data as needed. The location of the appropriate receptive field reflects the feature occurrence on the feature map, defining the features map. The subsampling layer is applied after every convolution layer. By halving each map dimension four times, reduces data for the next analysis. The convolution layer is placed after each subsampling layer. In this instance, the connectivity matrix is defined by links between layers. This procedure is repeated until the feature maps are too minute. Following these feature maps, there is a fully interconnected MLP, the output of which is a vector of classifiers [34]. Acceleration, battery current, battery power, convergence, UC current, UC power, and UC SoC are the input characteristics that are used to estimate the efficiency of EMS in the automobile. The outputs of the CNN are battery power and UC power. The weights of the CNN strategy are tweaked ideally utilizing the established optimization method to contribute to better EM. The obtained input parameters for acceleration to time are shown in Fig. 4 as Battery power, Battery current, convergence, UC current, UC power, and UC SoC.

The HBA mimics the honey badger’s foraging style, and its underlying bionic concept is as follows: During the global exploring phase, the honey badger utilizes the mice’s smell abilities to find the hive’s location and, once there, it chooses the best spot to collect honey. Honeyguide birds can locate honeycombs and are expected to collect them [35]. Honey badgers are led by honeyguide birds to directly identify honeycombs and subsequently gather honey throughout the local development stage. To provide better convergence capability with a maximal convergence rate, HBA enhancement is also necessary.

By varying the Acceleration pattern of the vehicle the corresponding converter current, battery soc, ultracapacitor soc, battery power, and uc power values are collected. The simulation graphs are obtained for acceleration, battery power, battery current, convergence, UC current, UC power, and UC SoC, respectively.

Convergence analysis

Convergence analysis over different learning rates.
The proposed approach and traditional models in terms of cost function are contrasted in Fig. 6. Different iterations, including 5, 10, 15, and 20, are taken in this particular instance. As shown by the convergence study’s results, which are presented below in the order of learning rates of 60, 70, and 80 using the appropriate Tables 2, 3, and 4, the suggested IHBO scheme dependably provided less cost values when contrasted with the traditional schemes.

Error indices of created approach versus conventional strategy.
The suggested system achieves a lower cost function of 0.04262 in the tenth iteration with a learning rate of 60%, which is less than the values acquired by well-known approaches, like PSO and HBA, the values of which are 0.042657 and 0.042636, respectively. The implemented IHBO also produced the lowest cost function of 0.043901 on 70% of the learning percentage, which is lower than the values of the PSO and HBA algorithms in the tenth iteration, which are 0.04391 and 0.043872, respectively. The proposed technique’s cost function is 0.044103 in 80% learning rates throughout the same 10th iteration as that of previously described learning rates, which is lower than suggested approaches, like PSO and HBA by values of 0.044115 and 0.044125, correspondingly. As a result, the suggested IHBO technique provides lower cost measures than the conventional methodologies under these various learning rate factors. Thus, the suggested approach can be altered to be capable of satisfying the simulation analysis’s demand for a low-cost function.
Figure 7 shows the error assessment of the established classification over the conventional system. The suggested IHBO model with the CNN classifier yields the lowest MAE error value. Assuming a 60% learning rate, the generated model achieves an MAE error value of 0.1313, which is lesser than that of the conventional approaches like NN (0.98113), CNN (0.14174), PSO
Conclusion
Based on CNN and the IHBO Technique, an EMS approach for EVs has been established and executed in this research. The recommended configuration relies on managing the energy between the battery, three-phase inverter, DC-DC converter, and ultra-capacitor as needed. The CNN model employing the UC, battery, and EV characteristics supports the EM, and such information serves as the input to the suggested CNN classifier, which is involved in the predicted EV speed. The weights of the CNN approach are set optimally utilizing the proposed IHBO approach to contribute effective EM. The error measure is used as the basis for the performance analysis. The simulation graphs for acceleration, battery current, power, convergence, UC current, power, and UC SoC are taken separately. When compared to established methods, the proposed method achieves the minimum value in the simulation of error metrics. This offers much-needed energy storage to support the electrification of society, the switch to renewable energy sources, and energy security. The suggested method obtained an RMSPE of 190.52, MAPE of 190.52, MARE of 0.90522, MSRE of 2.8194, RMSRE of 1.9052, MAE of 0.78232, and RMSE of 0.78232. The examination of system efficiency in high-voltage circumstances will be the main focus of this paper’s future research. But to keep the advantages of the suggested system intact and reduce total system costs, it is necessary to weigh the DC/DC converter’s size against the choice of UC. To confirm that the suggested HESS is electrically viable, a scaled-down experimental setup was constructed. The topology is electrically viable, and the hysteresis control is a straightforward but efficient control method, as demonstrated by the experimental findings. The suggested IHBO technique will be implemented in a closed-loop real-time vehicle control mode prototype as a future development of this research.
