Smart charging of electric vehicles at a charging station using machine learning and pressure pad energy harvesting Kumara Swamy Tadi, Ganapaneni Swapna, Kambhampati Venkata Govardhan Rao, Malligunta Kiran Kumar, Srungaram Ravi Teja Bulletin of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, 2026 The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) demands intelligent, cost-effective, and sustainable charging solutions. This paper introduces a smart EV charging station system that integrates machine learning (ML) with pressure pad–based energy harvesting. The system forecasts energy demand, predicts vehicle types and slot needs, and recommends optimal charging times using real-time data such as state of charge (SoC), battery health, and user behavior patterns. ML models such as long short-term memory (LSTM) and random forest are employed to ensure accurate scheduling and forecasting. A smart display, the display slot indicator (DSI), powered by sensors and station data, guides users with live cost, time, and slot availability, including alternate suggestions during peak demand. The pressure pad not only contributes to energy recovery but also aids in real-time vehicle detection and traffic regulation within the station. With scalable capacity and intelligent automation, this system can support more than 400 EVs per day, minimizing operational load and energy waste while maximizing convenience and sustainability.
Enhancing urban EV integration: a data-driven hybrid approach to charging station optimization and energy management Shaik Mohammed Hussain, Ganapaneni Swapna, Kambhampati Venkata Govardhan Rao, Malligunta Kiran Kumar, Srungaram Ravi Teja Bulletin of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, 2026 Electric vehicles (EVs) are pivotal to sustainable urban mobility, but their large-scale adoption in developing cities depends on efficient charging infrastructure and grid stability. This study proposes a hybrid deep learning framework to optimize EV charging station placement and energy scheduling in Vijayawada, India, projected to host 70,000 EVs by 2028. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is employed to classify charger types (Fast vs. Level 2) based on spatial features such as geospatial coordinates, population density, and traffic volume, while a long short-term memory (LSTM) network forecasts hourly charging demand using synthetic 24-hour sequences. The dataset comprises 108 candidate locations, designed to mirror real usage patterns. Model performance is evaluated using classification accuracy and mean absolute error (MAE). Results indicate that the CNN achieved 92% accuracy in charger type prediction, while the LSTM produced an hourly demand forecast with an MAE of 25 sessions/hour. These outcomes demonstrate the framework’s ability to reduce grid stress by shifting peak loads and strategically placing chargers in high-demand zones. The study provides a scalable and adaptable solution for EV infrastructure planning, enabling resilient grid integration, and supporting sustainable urban energy systems.
Optimized control approach for bidirectional wireless power transfer systems with vehicle-to-grid integration Mareedu Hari Venkatesh, Malligunta Kiran Kumar, Chandra Babu Guttikonda, Thalanki Venkata Sai Kalyani, Kambhampati Venkata Govardhan Rao Bulletin of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, 2026 The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) has intensified the need for efficient vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and grid-to-vehicle (G2V) systems. Bidirectional wireless power transfer (BWPT) presents a seamless and intelligent approach to energy exchange, particularly under dynamic tariff and grid demand conditions. This study aims to model and simulate a Python-based rule-driven BWPT system to evaluate energy efficiency and economic performance in V2G/G2V applications. A synthetic dataset representing grid demand and time-of-use (TOU) pricing over seven days was used to simulate real-world operating conditions. The model incorporates state-of-charge (SoC) dynamics, bidirectional power control logic, and profit calculation using a 15-minute resolution over 672 time steps. The simulation achieved a total energy exchange of 122.8 kWh and a cumulative net profit of ?536.67, with daily profits averaging ?76.6. SoC levels were effectively maintained between 20% and 90%, and power flows adapted accurately to tariff variations. The study confirms the feasibility of a lightweight, reproducible BWPT model capable of delivering optimized energy management and economic returns. The simulation approach offers strong potential for academic, research, and pre-deployment evaluation of intelligent charging systems.

This review presents a comprehensive synthesis of recent advancements in sensor fusion technologies, emphasizing the integration of light detection and ranging(LiDAR), radar, and camera-based vision systems. It highlights the role of deep learning architectures—such as you only look once (YOLO), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and related neural models—in enhancing object detection, classification, and segmentation. The review categorizes key research themes, including fusion methodologies, real-time processing, edge computing, performance in adverse weather conditions, pedestrian detection, and sensor calibration. Special attention is paid to techniques that merge spatial, velocity, and semantic data to mitigate individual sensor limitations. The paper also discusses hardware-accelerated solutions for low-latency inference and the use of lightweight models for deployment on edge devices. Benchmark datasets, of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) and internet of thing (IoT)-based infrastructure, and calibration challenges are examined for their roles in ensuring accuracy and reliability. Drawing from over 100 referenced studies, this work serves as a foundational resource for researchers and developers aiming to advance artificial intelligence (AI)-based sensor fusion systems in next-generation AEVs.
An Enhanced Loss Model–Based Online Flux Optimization Technique for Vector-Controlled Induction Motor Drives Including Leakage Inductance B Hima Deepthi, P Srinivasa, M Kiran Kumar, K V Govardhan Rao International Journal of Electrical and Electronics Research, 2026 A fresh and original approach is presented in this research as a means of controlling the amount of flux that is produced by an induction motor drive. Some of the algorithms that are used to decrease losses in induction motors include a loss-model based technique, which is one of several algorithms. Two advantages of this technique are its quick response and accurate conclusions. On the other hand, precise motor drive and loss modelling is necessary for the success of this strategy. During the process of developing the loss model, one of the ongoing challenges is to achieve accuracy while simultaneously controlling complexity. In the present work, an improved controlling approach is proposed for the purpose of determining the optimal flux level for a vector-controlled induction motor in order to achieve the highest possible efficiency of the drive. In a dq model of an Induction Motor (IM), the rotor magnetizing current serves as a reference point for the model. After this transformation eliminates any rotor-side leakage inductance, we are able to derive the motor loss model by making use of the dq components that are included in the steady-state motor model. The problem of leaking inductances is not ignored by the new method, despite the fact that it is a straightforward application.
Smart wireless charging architecture for electric vehicles using resonant inductive coupling and low-component design Devarakonda Mahidhar, Burthi Loveswara Rao, K. V. Govardhan Rao, C. H. Rami Reddy International Journal of Applied Power Engineering, 2025 <span lang="EN-US">A wireless power transfer system designed for electro-vehicle recharge and low-power device charging is explained in this document through resonant inductive coupling technology. Once switched on the pulse generator and IRF540 MOSFETs from the IC CD4047 drive high-frequency signals through the transmitter coil. IR sensors function as operational safety tools by detecting valid receivers which activate a relay control system for transmitter power management and reduce unnecessary energy consumption. A full-wave rectifier along with the 7805-voltage regulator enables the receiver unit to deliver fully stable 5 V DC output. System status is displayed through a user interface equipped with an LCD and real-time billing information runs on ThingSpeak IoT platform for visualization. Tests show that the system reaches a maximum power transfer efficiency of 90% alongside successful relay operation lasting less than 150 ms. The system provides an inexpensive solution to build smart wireless charging infrastructure networks that remain energy-efficient and expandable through its built-in control and monitoring functions.</span>
Integration and optimization of grid through ANN-based solar MPPT and battery Kolli Sujran, Ankala Sirisha, Ganapaneni Swapna, Malligunta Kiran Kumar, Kambhampati Venkata Govardhan Rao International Journal of Applied Power Engineering, 2025 Integration of solar energy into the grid is the most important aspect for achieving sustainable energy systems. This paper presents an artificial neural network-based maximum power point tracking (ANN-MPPT) system with battery storage to enhance grid efficiency. The proposed ANN-MPPT is dynamically adapted to the varying irradiance and temperature, hence ensuring optimal power extraction from the photovoltaic system. Excess energy is stored in batteries during high solar radiation and discharged when solar generation is low or grid demand is high, maintaining a stable power supply. This system enhances the grid performance in terms of supporting real-time energy exchange, load balancing, and grid stability. Efficient management of the energy fluctuations ensures reliability even at times of grid failures. Further, integration of ANN-based MPPT with battery storage reduces dependence on non-renewable sources and harmonizes solar energy utilization. It can be achieved through enabling smarter energy management and thus contributing to the resilience and efficiency of a grid for better integration of renewable energies. The proposed system can tolerate fluctuating grid demands apart from supporting the features of smart grid, hence viable for increasing stability and sustainability in the grid.
